Hall, Judge,
concurring specially as to Division 7. In my opinion, the provision on the face of the policy which states “nor in any event for more than the interest of the insured,” limits the insured’s recovery to the value of his leasehold interest. However, this stipulation of the policy “is a subordinate provision to be pleaded defensively if the insurer would limit or diminish the amount of recovery by reason thereof.” American Cas. Co. v. Parks-Chambers, 111 Ga. App. 568, 570 (142 SE2d 275). While the insurer affirmatively pled this defense, no evidence was introduced to show the amount to which the limitation of liability reduced the amount recoverable by the insured under the policy.
