FD&D (CLASS 6) / PART VI / RULE 36
CONTRIBUTIONS DUE ON CESSER OF INSURANCE
36.1 Liability for Contributions
Subject to the Member’s liability being otherwise agreed or assessed under Rule 13 Release, a Member whose Entered Ship or Ships cease to be insured by the Association for any reason, shall be and remain liable to pay to the Association all Contributions in respect of such Ship or Ships for all Policy Years which have not been closed under Rules 37.1 Closing of Policy Year as at the date of such cesser, including the Policy Year in which the insurance ceases which, under Rule 10 Contribution by Way of Calls, such Member would have been liable to pay had the insurance of such Ship or Ships not ceased.
Provided always that:
36.1.1 the Member shall be liable for Contributions for the Policy Year in which the insurance ceases pro rata only for the period beginning with the date of entry and ending with the happening of the event that occasioned the cesser of insurance if:
36.1.1.1 such cesser arises by virtue of Rule 9.3 Notice of Termination of Cover by Board or Managers; or
36.1.1.2 such cesser arises upon the happening of any of the events specified under Rule 34 Cesser of Ship Entry and the Member gives notice of the event in writing to the Managers within one month of the date thereof; or
36.1.1.3 such cesser arises by virtue of Rule 33.1 Failure to Pay, in such case the Member’s liability to pay Contributions shall include the sum specified in the notice given under that Rule.
36.2 Set-off
For the purpose of determining whether any (and, if so, what) sum is due for the purposes of Rule 36.1 Liability for Contributions or otherwise under these Rules no account shall be taken of any amount due or alleged to be due by the Association to the Member for any reason whatsoever, and no set-off of any kind (including any set-off which might otherwise have arisen by reason of the bankruptcy or winding up of the Member) shall be allowed against such sum (whether or not any set-off against Contributions has been allowed at any time in the past), except to the extent (if any) to which any sum demanded by the Managers as due, and required to be paid in a notice served under Rule 33.1 Failure to Pay, may (in the Managers’ discretion) in itself have already allowed for a set-off or credit in favour of the Member.
