Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The payment of premium is inherently tender of a debt,which should be paid by the policy-holder.Yet,what is the legal effect when a third party pays the premium? Will the insurer be denied the usual rights and benefits? Our Insurance Law fails to offer a corresponding coverage,leading to much controversy in practice.The paper argues that the legal effect should differ according to whether the third party is an interested party or an arbitrary third-party and also according to the different attributes of property insurance and life insurance.
