Extract

A Specific Policy is one which insures stated sums on particular risks, and guarantees the assured against any loss thereon within the limits of the amounts insured. It differs from anAverage or Floating Policy in several respects—the latter, amongst other privileges, having only to bear a share of any loss compared with the whole loss, similar to the proportion which the amount it insures bears to the whole value of the property insured at the time of the fire.
