Act of God, a direct, violent, sudden, and irresistible act of nature, which could not, by any reasonable care, have been foreseen or resisted, see Nugent v. Smith, (1876) 1 CPD 423. The general rule is that where the law creates a duty and the party is disabled from performing it, without any default of his own, by the act of God or the King's enemies, the law will excuse him; but when a party by his own contract creates a duty he is bound to make it good, notwithstanding any accident by inevitable necessity, Nichols v.

Letter of cover, a letter of cover no doubt contains a contract of insurance but it is not a policy of insurance in the common understanding of that word in the trade. It is well known that in order to obtain an insurance against the risk of fire the assured has first to send a proposal to the insurer and then the insurer takes a little time in making enquiries as to whether it would accept the proposal and undertake the obligation of covering the risk. He issues a policy only after he is satisfied that it would be a prudent business proposition to do so. Experience of trades people has however shown that some kind of protection for the interim period when the insurer is making the enquiries is necessary. This protection is given by what is called a 'letter of cover', R. Ratilal v. National Security Insurance Co. Ltd., AIR 1964 SC 1396 (1398). (Stamp Act, 1899, s. 35)...
