Disclosure by applicant and person whose life is to be insured
202(1)An applicant for insurance on his own behalf and on behalf of each person to be insured, and each person to be insured, shall disclose to the insurer in any application, on a medical examination, if any, and in any written statements or answers furnished as evidence of insurability, every fact within his knowledge that is material to the insurance and is not so disclosed by the other.
202(2)Subject to sections 203 and 206, a failure to disclose, or a misrepresentation of, such a fact renders a contract voidable by the insurer.
202(3)In the case of a contract of group insurance, a failure to disclose or a misrepresentation of such a fact with respect to a group person insured or a person insured under the contract does not render the contract voidable, but if evidence of insurability is specifically requested by the insurer, the insurance in respect of such a person is, subject to section 203, voidable by the insurer.
