Admission of age of life assured.
|
64.—(1) Every policy of industrial assurance issued after the commencement of this Part of this Act shall be deemed to be made on the terms that the age, at the date of the issue of such policy, of the person in respect of whose life such policy is issued is admitted by the company issuing such policy to be the age stated in that behalf in such policy or, where such age is not stated in such policy, to be the age stated in that behalf in the proposal for such policy, and accordingly no industrial assurance policy shall be invalidated or questioned on the ground that the age of the person in respect of whose life such policy is issued is incorrectly stated in such policy or in the proposal for such policy.
|
|
| |
(2) Whenever an industrial assurance company receives a proposal for a policy of industrial assurance and such proposal contains an incorrect statement of the age of the person whose life is thereby proposed to be assured, such company may, within twelve months after the date on which it receives such proposal, so adjust the terms of the policy issued or about to be issued in pursuance of such proposal as to make such terms conform to the terms applicable to the true age of such person.

(3) Where an industrial assurance company requires, as a condition precedent to the issue of an industrial assurance policy, that the age of the person in respect of whose life such policy is to be issued shall be verified by production of a certified copy of the entry of the birth of such person or other evidence, and such company defrays the cost of obtaining such certified copy or other evidence, such company may adjust the amount of the money payable by such company under such policy by deducting from such money the amount of the said cost so defrayed by such company, if, but only if, the proposal form contained a notice to the effect that the production of such certified copy or other evidence would be required as aforesaid and that the cost thereof, if defrayed by such company, would be deducted from the money payable by such company under such policy.

(5) Every registrar of marriages, every deputy registrar of marriages and every other person having the custody of a register of marriages shall, on an application being made to him by an industrial assurance company in such form and manner as may be approved by the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages and on being paid by such company a fee not exceeding one shilling for each certified copy, furnish to such company a certified copy of the entry of the marriage of any married woman or widow whose marriage is entered in such register and in respect of whom a proposal for a policy of industrial assurance has been received or a policy of industrial assurance has been issued by such company.
