Question juridique clé

Solution extraite
The exclusion clause applied because the insured died less than 12 months after payment of the invalidity capital.
Motifs extraits
The insurer was not obliged to treat earlier medical certificates or the AI application as a declaration of invalidity claim; it had no duty to investigate or pay ex officio before receiving sufficient notice and evidence.
