26Minimum amounts

#### 26 Minimum amounts (1) If the insured has expressly agreed that no amount is to be payable under the contract of insurance in particular circumstances, then, for the purposes of this section, the contract must be read as though it specified an amount to be payable in those circumstances. (2) If a contract of insurance provides that an amount is payable by reference to a period other than a day, then, for the purposes of this section, the contract must be read as though it specified as the daily amount an amount ascertained by dividing the amount payable for that period by the number of days in that period. (3) The minimum amount in respect of a claim made under a contract referred to in subsection 24(1), being a claim that arises as mentioned in column 1 of an item of the following table, is declared to be the amount ascertained in accordance with column 2 of that item, reduced by an amount equal to the amount so payable in respect of the first 14 days of the period during which the insured person is disabled. ```html <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%; border-collapse:collapse"><thead><tr><td colspan="3" style="border-top:1.5pt solid #000000; border-bottom:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="TableHeading"><span>Minimum amounts</span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="width:9.12%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="TableHeading"><span>Item</span></p></td><td style="width:36.92%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="TableHeading"><span>Column 1</span></p></td><td style="width:53.96%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="TableHeading"><span>Column 2</span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="width:9.12%; border-bottom:1.5pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="TableHeading"><span></span></p></td><td style="width:36.92%; border-bottom:1.5pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="TableHeading"><span>Description of claim</span></p></td><td style="width:53.96%; border-bottom:1.5pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="TableHeading"><span>Minimum amount</span></p></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="width:9.12%; border-top:1.5pt solid #000000; border-bottom:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>1</span></p></td><td style="width:36.92%; border-top:1.5pt solid #000000; border-bottom:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>A claim that arises out of the death of the insured person</span></p></td><td style="width:53.96%; border-top:1.5pt solid #000000; border-bottom:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>The amount specified in the contract as the amount payable under the contract in respect of the death of the insured person or, if no amount is so specified, $25,000</span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="width:9.12%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; border-bottom:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>2</span></p></td><td style="width:36.92%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; border-bottom:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>A claim that arises out of the total disablement of the insured person</span></p></td><td style="width:53.96%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; border-bottom:0.75pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>If:</span></p><p class="Tablea"><span>(a) a daily amount is specified in the contract in respect of the total disablement of the insured person—that amount multiplied by the number of days during which the insured person is so disabled; or</span></p><p class="Tablea"><span>(b) if no amount is so specified—an amount equal to the amount of income lost by the insured person by reason of the disablement</span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="width:9.12%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; border-bottom:1.5pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>3</span></p></td><td style="width:36.92%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; border-bottom:1.5pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>A claim that arises out of the partial disablement of the insured person</span></p></td><td style="width:53.96%; border-top:0.75pt solid #000000; border-bottom:1.5pt solid #000000; padding-right:5.4pt; padding-left:5.4pt; vertical-align:top"><p class="Tabletext"><span>If:</span></p><p class="Tablea"><span>(a) a daily amount is specified in the contract in respect of the partial disablement of the insured person—that amount multiplied by the number of days during which the insured person is so disabled; or</span></p><p class="Tablea"><span>(b) if no amount is so specified—an amount equal to the amount of income lost by the insured person by reason of the disablement</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table> ```
