Aggregate Extraction

A provision permitting a portion of what would be considered as one loss to be extracted and included as part of a separate loss. Example: an aggregate policy, where the reinsurance contract considers all loss under such a policy to be one occurrence, when one of the losses under that policy is involved in the same loss as another policy(ies) of the reinsured company. The aggregate policy loss may be extracted and combined with the other policy(ies) loss to make a more favorable claim under the reinsurance contract.
