MARINE INSURANCE ACT 1906 - SECT 36

Warranty of neutrality.

36.(1) Where insurable property, whether ship or goods, is expressly warranted
neutral, there is an implied condition that the property shall have a neutral
character at the commencement of the risk, and that, so far as the assured can
control the matter, its neutral character shall be preserved during the risk.

(2) Where a ship is expressly warranted "neutral" there is also an implied
condition that, so far as the assured can control the matter, she shall be
properly documented, that is to say, that she shall carry the necessary papers
to establish her neutrality, and that she shall not falsify or suppress her
papers, or use simulated papers. If any loss occurs through breach of this
condition, the insurer may avoid the contract.
