Sintesi Omnilex

The court held that an insured who completes a questionnaire for supplementary insurance must disclose ongoing psychiatric treatment. Failing to do so can justify retroactive misrepresentation consequences under the Insurance Contract Act. The insured could not invoke the fact that the same insurer, acting as basic insurer, had previously paid invoices relating to that treatment. The prior payment did not create a justificatory circumstance or override the duty to answer the supplementary-insurance questionnaire truthfully.

Massima Omnilex

Art. 6 LCA; duty of truthful disclosure in the formation of supplementary insurance contracts and retroactive consequences of non-disclosure. An applicant for supplementary insurance must answer health questions completely and truthfully, including the existence of ongoing psychiatric treatment. The insured cannot rely, as a justificatory circumstance, on the fact that the insurer previously settled treatment invoices in its capacity as basic insurer, since such conduct does not negate the duty to disclose nor create a legitimate expectation that the information need not be mentioned. The decisive point is the relevance of the omitted fact to the risk inquiry in the supplementary-insurance questionnaire.

Résumé

Lorsqu'un assuré remplit un questionnaire visant à la conclusion d'une assurance complémentaire, il ne peut taire le fait qu'il suit un traitement psychiatrique sans risquer de se voir ensuite imposer une réticence rétroactive. Le fait que l'assureur, en sa qualité d'assureur de base, a réglé auparavant des factures ayant trait à ce traitement ne peut être invoqué à titre de fait justificatif.
