Dear Mr. Verma,

Labour Charges are indeed payable under policy.

Only thing is that you have to check the adequacy of sum insured considering that rate.

Regards.

The policy as per terms does not allows it.

As per my Opinion Labour Charges upto 15% of Glass costs are payable because Plate Glasses are supposed to be Fixed .I had allowed in 3,4 cases & Insurers are also agreed with it & they have settled the claim.

Dear Sir,
If the underwriting was done only for cost of glass, and does not
include cost of fixing and transport, then it would be prudent to
allow only cost of glass. The meaning of indemnity is clear, the
installation and transport also becomes payable only if such
incidentals were included in the sum insured.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Rajesh Sir,
The numbers are daunting I agree. But if the Policy covers the loss &
if the numbers are justifiable the surveyors need not worry. The
charges that are necessary to put the Insured asset in to per-accident
condition or to indemnify the loss shall be considered.

I have not gone through the policy but it seems that labour charges are payble on the principle of Indemnity.
If labour charges are high then Sum Insured must be high and if not Average Clause will take care of it.

Dear Sir

Your question was on whether labour / fixing of glass are
indemnifiable under Plate glass insurance. As all of us know,
Insurers cover plate glasses under different policies : Fire,
Package, Plate glass insurance et. al..
In specific PG policies the indemnity is stated to be the intrinsic
value of the glass. Intrinsic value is a Finance World term and
relates to stocks - there it connotes the actual value of a security,
as opposed to its market price or book value. Perhaps the intention
in insurance in relation to Goods / property being the subject matter
insured could be that we are talking of its physical value and not any
sentimental value that could be attached to it. Perhaps there is
attempt to define the value of the product irrespective of the
holder’s perception, which could be more relevant in case of curios
and other items of art. When it is the value of the glass that is
covered, there exists indemnity only for the value of the property and
therefore the additional expenditures necessarily involved like
labour, fitting of the glass etc., are outside the purview. Again
when we talk of value, if we are talking about the price, then it
would represent the purchase price and the costs of transportation and
handling would go outside the purview.
But it defies logic. The sum insured must represent the ‘value upon
arrival’ i.e., the landed cost at the insured place and thus should
include – the cost, transportation and handling. The costs of fixing
etc., are to be included additionally just as the costs of
foundation / earthwork are covered in MB insurance. In sum and
substance, indemnity would follow the components included in the sum
insured and if they are sought to be covered, they would also be
reimbursed in the claims.
Needless to add that uniform basis is to be adopted for indemnity and
valuation for adequacy of insurance. Incidentally, the policy
specifies payment of an additional amount not exceeding 5% of
admissible claim towards boarding charges of the damaged area. What
is the forum’s perception of this boarding charges.

I have my theory and will share if somebody is interested.

Regards – S Sampathkumar.
