The division created by this law is the “temporal division”. The cases to which it applies are mainly cases of one or the other: “division” has a different meaning in real estate. This is usually the sharing of real estate costs such as maintenance, insurance and taxes between the buyer and seller at the time of a transaction that affects a property. Division refers to the act of dividing or assigning something according to a plan. For example, the breakdown may refer to the proportional distribution of the number of members of the U.S. House of Representatives based on the population of each state. Division often does not mean division, but the distribution, or distribution of one subject in relation to another previously distributed. In the case of insurance against accidents at work, the allocation may relate to the allocation of liability for an occupational disease between employers. For example, if an employee becomes ill, more than one employer may have contributed to the working conditions that caused the employee`s illness. The division applies to many contexts.

In the case of insurance, a division is the distribution of a loss among all insurance companies that insure property. This allocation is used to determine the percentage of liability that each insurer holds. For example, three insurers, each covering $60,000 for a $120,000 property, are awarded 50% of the claim if the property is destroyed. The apportionment may also apply to real estate, workers` compensation, or the distribution of financial benefits. The legal term levy (French: levy; Medieval Latin: apportionamentum, derived from Latin: portio, part) means distribution or allocation in correct proportions. The political impact of the census on distribution by Congress became clear when the Commerce Department proposed to use statistical samples for the 2000 census. (The statistical sample is a method of capturing a subset of a larger population and applying the results to the larger group.) Congressional Republicans reacted hostilely to this proposal by the Democratic administration of President Bill Clinton, fearing that the proposed statistical sample of hard-to-count individuals (racial and ethnic minorities, poor individuals, children, illegal aliens, tenants, etc.) would favor large urban areas associated with the Democratic Party. Members of Congress filed a lawsuit to block the use of samples, and the Supreme Court accepted their position in Commerce Dept. v. U.S.

House of Representatives, 525 U.S. 316, 119 pp.ct.765, 142 L. Ed. 2d 797 (1999). The court ruled that the Census Act, first enacted in 1954 (and amended several times since), specifically prohibited the use of samples to determine population for division by Congress. Breakdowns are most often defined in a split clause or “other insurance clause”, which is usually part of the associated insurance policy.
