After the insured event occurred, the Insurer alleged that the Insured had violated its obligation to prevent and mitigate losses.

Under the insurance contract, the premium was to be paid in three installments, and in all three, the insured party was late in payment.

However, the Arbitral Tribunal held a contrary view.
