law: Marine Insurance Act, 1963 
  56. Partial and total loss
  (1) A loss may be
  
  either total or partial. Any loss other than a total loss, as hereinafter
  
  defined, is a partial loss.
  (2) A total loss may be
  
  either an actual total loss, or a constructive total loss.
  (3) Unless a different
  
  intention appears form the terms of the policy, an insurance against total loss
  
  includes a constructive, as well as an actual, total loss.
  (4) Where the assured
  
  brings a suit for a total loss and the evidence proves only a partial loss, he
  
  may, unless the policy otherwise provides, recover for a partial loss.
  (5) Where goods reach
  
  their destination in specie, but by reason of obliteration of  marks, or
  
  otherwise, they are incapable of identification, the loss, if any, is partial
  
  and not total.
