Answer

1. **TRUE**. Insurable interest can exist in life (e.g., your own life, the life of a family member, or a key employee), property (e.g., a house, car, or business equipment), and potential liability (e.g., the risk of being sued for negligence).2. **FALSE**. A person *does* have an insurable interest in the sums they may be called upon to pay to third parties due to an accident. This is the basis of liability insurance.3. **FALSE**. The principle of indemnity states that the insured should not profit from a loss but should be restored to the same financial position as before the loss. They should not collect *more* than the actual loss.4. **TRUE**. Life insurance and other similar contracts are not contracts of indemnity. They pay a stated sum upon the occurrence of the insured event (e.g., death) regardless of the actual financial loss.5. **TRUE**. Subrogation, the right of an insurer to pursue a third party that caused an insurance loss to the insured, only applies when the insurance policy is a contract of indemnity. This prevents the insured from collecting twice for the same loss (once from the insurer and again from the at-fault party).
