Thus was born the insured-interest doctrine. The indemnity doctrine, which precludes a buyer from insuring property for more than it\u2019s worth, soon followed. The point of these rules is to limit insurance contracts to trading existing risks and not to create new risks by giving buyers of insurance incentive to destroy property. The doctrines have been part of insurance law in both England and the United States (which in 1746 were colonies under English common law) ever since. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lmlLsB2.gif\" \/>&nbsp; <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/7mXsfdM.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p><sup>*<\/sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%;\">Full disclosure, I worded at GE Transportation Systems (GETS) their locomotive manufacturing unit from 1994-1996, and for about half of my time there, the chief of the division was Bob Nardelli, who I have never met.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/WTz8S.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/WTz8S.jpg\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/fH1Pt.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" bordercolor=\"white\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/fH1Pt.jpg\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><br \/>Picture, <a href=\"https:\/\/probonostats.wordpress.com\/2009\/04\/25\/expected-age-at-death-at-various-ages\/\">H\/t Pro Bono Statistics<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FyId8.jpg\" \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/hd41K.jpg\" width=\"300\" \/><br \/><i>Bummer of a birth mark, InsertNameHere<\/i><\/p>\n<p><sup>*<\/sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Santorum_%28sexual_neologism%29\">definition of Santorum<\/a> is, &#8220;That frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>how do do indented multiline footnotes<br \/><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 0.06in; text-indent: -0.06in;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><sup>*<\/sup>how do do indented multiline footnotes<br \/>testing<br \/>testing testing testing testing testing testing testing tes<\/span><\/div>\n<p>how do do indented multiline footnotes<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/1IPmi.jpg\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;\" width=\"200\" \/><br \/>The classic rejoinder is the Yiddish, &#8220;Az der bubbe vot gehat baytzim vot zie geven mein zayde.&#8221; (If my grandmother had balls she&#8217;d be my grandfather.)<\/p>\n<p>Please note: once again, that I do not vet, nor do I endorse any ad that appears on my site, and I reserve the right to mock both the ads that appear on my site, as well as the advertisers.<\/p>\n<p>Also, please note, this should be in no way construed as an inducement or a request for my reader(s) to click on any ad that they would not otherwise be inclined to investigate further.
