Which topics fall under Paragraph CDE?

• A. Right and duty to defend, supplementary payments and other insurance provisions
• B. Premium calculations, audits, and commissions
• C. Policy period, renewal terms, and endorsements
• D. Claim reporting deadlines and filing forms

Answer: (A)

Paragraph CDE groups the policy mechanics that govern defense and how the policy coordinates with other coverages. The insurer’s right and duty to defend explains who handles the defense of a claim and how defense costs are managed. Supplementary payments describe the extra expenses the insurer is willing to cover beyond the policy limits, such as court costs and interest on judgments. Other insurance provisions set the rules for how this policy interacts with other policies, including which policy pays first and how limits apply when multiple coverages exist. These elements together address how the liability policy defends, incurs defense costs, and coordinates with other coverage, which is why they fit under that paragraph. Topics like premium calculations, audits, and commissions belong to pricing and underwriting; policy period, renewal terms, and endorsements relate to term and changes to the policy; and claim reporting deadlines and filing forms concern notice and filing requirements, handled in a different section.
