SEC. 165. When a person insured by a contract of marine
insurance has a demand against others for contribution, he may claim the
whole loss from the insurer, subrogating him to his own right to
contribution. But no such claim can be made upon the insurer after the
separation of the interests liable to contribution, nor when the
insured, having the right and opportunity to enforce contribution from
others, has neglected or waived the exercise of that right.
