Article L175-9 of the French Insurance Code

In property insurance, cumulative insurances taken out without fraud for a total sum exceeding the value of the insured item are valid only if the insured brings them to the attention of the insurer from whom he requests settlement.

Each of them produces its effects within the limits of the guarantees of the contract and up to the full value of the insured item.

In liability insurance, when the cumulative insurances are contracted without fraud, each of them produces its effects in proportion to and within the limits of the guarantees of the contract.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L175-9
En assurance de biens, les assurances cumulatives contractées sans fraude pour une somme totale excédant la valeur de la chose assurée ne sont valables que si l’assuré les porte à la connaissance de l’assureur à qui il demande son règlement.


Chacune d’elles produit ses effets dans les limites des garanties du contrat et jusqu’à concurrence de l’entière valeur de la chose assurée.


En assurance de responsabilité, quand les assurances cumulatives sont contractées sans fraude, chacune d’elles produit ses effets en proportion et dans les limites des garanties du contrat.
