The non contribution clause is where it is expressly agreed in an insurance contract that in cases of loss covered by another insurance policy other than the primary cover taken by the insured other, the insures are required to indemnify the insured assuming that the other policy does not exist. However, this clause should be prohibited by law as it creates limits when the third party policy is called upon in cases where amounts can not be recovered from another policy and if the insured party is entitled to a full indemnity. This means that there is no entitlement for compensation.

To determine in the first place if Jane is entitled to any insurance claim, it is crucial to know if she has insurable interest in the property as a mere expectation of loss from the destruction of the property would not be enough. It can be seen that she has insurable interest as she gained property rights from the purchase of the old church building.

Under the insurance law any individual who has interest in a property has the right to insure it and can insure it in full up to the value of the property (BIRDS, 2010). However, in case of any losses, the value of the interest becomes very important and the one insured can prima facie only get that which is sufficient to only to indemnify him. In some cases, the insured can recover more to the limit of the value of interest. Also the no-profit rule under insurance law ensures that no individual profits from insurance money as seen in the case of Castellain Vs Preston.

In the case, the fact that Jane has insurable interest means that she is entitled to compensation. However, she is entitled to the value of £150,000 or less so as to restore the church as this is where her insurable interest is. This is because she bought the church for £70,000, if the insurance pays her £250,000 she will have profited from the insurance money which she is not entitled to.
