How we read a property file.

Head of Casualty.
Direct line on every submission in this class
"Excess isn't a markup on primary. It's a different question. I'm asking what the tail looks like five years out, who's aggregating below me, and whether defense erodes limits. Send the underlying, not just the spec."
