I agree with Amit, this is indeed an interesting discussion.

Though I'm not an expert on this issue but I would hazard a guess. Since the money was in the custody of the security company, its insurance would cover for the losses. The bank's insurer would have covered the loss if the money were stolen while being transferred from the bank building to the security van. However, I think that the policy document needs to be read to find out the definition of the ‘money in transit loss'.

Hope the experts would share their insights too.

A BANK HAS MONEY INSURANCE POLICY WITH XYZ INSURANCE COY COVERING MONEY IN TRANSIT



so if bank is insured for money in transit then one opinion about is that bank insurer will pay full loss to the bank.

another opinion is bank insurer and bullion voy van insurer should jointly pay it to the bank.

CAN THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTRIBUTION APPLY?.



yes surely principle of contribution of the liability does apply here.here both van insurer and bank insurer should contribute towards the claim.

IF THE BANK IS MADE A LIEN HOLDER, DOES IT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON CONTRIBUTION, IF ANY.



i am not very clear about this aspect experts opinions are welcome. :wink:

In this case gographical limit of cash in transit is to be verify if cash carried within gographical limit , then both Parties ( Bank & Custodian / Bailee of money ) Insurance companies will indemnify the loss as per sum Insured under their respective policies ( contribution caluse will applied )

It's always a good idea to try on several sport bras to pick the right

fit. Each and every sports bra, made by a number of different companies,

will surely fit and feel differently once you have them on. One may be

more comfortable while another may be more stylish.
