Where a policy provides for the insurer to cancel the contract after a claim, the cancellation may only take effect at the end of a period of one month from the date of notification to the insured. An insurer who, after the period of one month following the loss, has accepted payment of a premium or contribution or a fraction of a premium or contribution corresponding to a period of insurance commencing after the loss may no longer invoke this loss to cancel the contract.
In the case provided for in the first paragraph above, the policies must recognise the insured’s right, within one month of notification of cancellation of the claim policy, to cancel any other insurance contracts he may have taken out with the insurer, with cancellation taking effect one month from the date of notification to the insurer.
The right of cancellation open to the insurer and the insured, by application of the two preceding paragraphs, entails the return by the insurer of the portions of the premiums or contributions relating to the period for which the risks are no longer covered.
