内容説明
The Law of Reinsurance has established itself as the definitive guide on reinsurance law and practice in England and Bermuda. This title not only addresses the core principles of reinsurance contracts and regulation but also relevant areas of agency law and dispute resolution procedure. It is relied upon as comprehensive and trusted text that continues to clarify a complex area of law. The 5th edition of The Law of Reinsurance has undergone a major revision: Chapter 3 addresses another attempt by the Supreme Court to restate the law on the interpretation of contracts. The discussion on good faith, the duty of fair presentation, warranties and other terms in Chapter 6 has been revised as an integrated commentary of the Insurance Act 2015 (for England) and the pre-Insurance Act 2015 (for Bermuda). Chapter 8 has been updated with sections on mortality and longevity risks and insurance linked securities. Chapter 9 has been extensively re-written to restate the law on attribution of knowledge and ex turpi causa and its impact on the rights of (re)insurers and third parties. Chapter 14 on reinsurance arbitration looks at new developments concerning the appointment of arbitrators and their duties of independence and confidentiality. Chapter 15 includes forecasts about the regulatory regime post-Brexit.
