    ACV                  Actual Cash Value - Valued policies pre-agree upon an amount of insurance for your dwelling/building,
                         contents and  equipment. In the event of a Total Loss of your dwelling/building, this is the amount you
                         would receive (less any applicable deductions).  On an ACV policy, claims are subject to an adjusted
                         settlement based upon the age and condition of the damaged item or dwelling/building.

                         your home is unlivable. With ALE coverage, you will not have to stay with family or suffer undue financial
                         hardship to rent temporary accommodations.

                           specifically, s. 128(5) of the Act, authorizes the court to appoint an appraiser where a party fails to do so
