Contract binding
102(1)Where the policy has been delivered, the contract is as binding on the insurer as if the premium had been paid, although it has not in fact been paid, and although delivered by an officer or agent of the insurer who had not authority to deliver it.
102(2)The insurer may sue for the unpaid premium and may deduct the amount thereof from the amount for which he is liable under the contract of insurance.
102(3)Where a cheque, bill of exchange or promissory note or any promise to pay is given, whether originally or by way of renewal, for the whole or part of any premium and the cheque, bill of exchange or promissory note or other promise to pay is not honoured according to its tenor, the insurer may terminate the contract forthwith by giving written notice by registered mail.
