Key legal question
Whether the insured still had a right to KVG daily benefits after receiving 772 benefit days.
Extracted holding
No. In the absence of a contrary contractual arrangement, the statutory minimum maximum duration of 720 days applied, and that limit had already been exceeded.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 72(3) KVG sets a minimum benefit period of 720 days that may be extended but not shortened. The parties had not agreed on any longer duration in the policy or conditions; therefore the statutory rule governed. Because 772 days had already been paid, no further benefits were due.
