s 27Legal alterations in policies may be made

Nothing in this Act shall prohibit the making of any alteration which may lawfully be made in the terms and conditions of any policy of sea insurance after the policy has been underwritten; provided that the alteration is made before notice of the determination of the risk originally insured, and that it does not prolong the time covered by the insurance thereby made beyond the period of 6 months in the case of a policy made for a less period than 6 months, or beyond the period of 12 months in the case of a policy made for a greater period than 6 months, and that the articles insured remain the property of the same person or persons and that no additional or further sum is insured by reason or means of the alteration.
