Do you have a specific legal question or issue related to insurance?
(*) Doing or proposing to do any business in substance equivalent to the foregoing in a manner designed to evade the provisions of this Code: This is a catch-all provision. Even if an entity does not call its activities "insurance," if what they are doing is essentially the same, and it seems like they are trying to avoid insurance regulations, it will still be considered insurance business. The last paragraph clarifies that whether or not an entity makes a profit from its insurance activities, or whether or not they receive a direct payment for those activities, does not conclusively determine whether or not they are doing insurance business. The lack of profit or direct payment doesn't automatically mean they aren't in the insurance business. This prevents entities from structuring their operations to avoid regulation by claiming they don't make a profit or don't receive direct payment. SIMPLIFY FOR EASY UNDERSTANDING
Case Rating: *
Here’s a simplified version:
- Any activity that is essentially like insurance, even if not called "insurance" and designed to avoid regulation, will still be considered insurance.
- Whether or not the entity makes a profit or receives direct payment doesn’t determine if it’s insurance business. This prevents avoiding regulation by claiming no profit or direct payment.

Case Rating: *
Insurance for lotteries is not permitted due to the following reasons:
- Pure Chance: Lotteries are purely based on chance with no measurable risk, unlike insurable events which rely on probability and risk assessment.
- No Insurable Interest: Insurance requires an insurable interest, which lotteries lack since the outcome is purely random.
- Unpredictability: The unpredictable nature of lotteries makes it impossible to assess premiums or potential losses accurately.

"Section *. Unless the policy otherwise provides, where a mortgagor of property effects insurance in his name providing that the loss shall be payable to the mortgagee, or assigns a policy of insurance to a mortgagee, the insurance is deemed to be upon the interest of the mortgagor, who does not cease to be a party to the original contract, and any act of his, prior to the loss, which would otherwise avoid the insurance, will have the same effect, although the property is in the hands of the mortgagee, but any act which, under the contract of insurance, is to be performed by the mortgagor, may be performed by the mortgagee therein named, with the same effect as if it had been performed by the mortgagor. interpret this for easy understanding and illustrate
Case Rating: *
This section means that if a mortgagor (borrower) insures a property and names the mortgagee (lender) as the beneficiary, the insurance remains tied to the mortgagor's interest. The mortgagor's actions before any loss, which could void the insurance, will have the same effect even if the property is with the mortgagee. Acts required by the mortgagor can be performed by the mortgagee with the same effect.
Illustration:
- John has a house mortgaged to Bank A.
- John insures the house naming Bank A as the beneficiary.
- If John fails to pay the insurance premium before a fire, the insurance is void even if Bank A holds the property.
- Bank A can pay the premium on John's behalf to keep the insurance valid.
