Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(a) The parties between whom the contract is made.

(b) The property or life insured.

(c) The interest of the insured in property insured, if he is not the absolute owner thereof.

(d) The risks insured against.
