In this book, Professor Malcolm Clarke provides a critical
introduction to the English law of insurance contracts and presents
the rules in both their legal and socio-economic contexts. He sets
out the principles in a clear manner, moving on to develop the
implications of certain rules in order to examine the importance of
effective insurance and effective insurance law in modern society.
Comparative reference is made to the corresponding rules in common
law countries and also in major jurisdictions in western Europe,
providing a thought-provoking wider view of the relevant law. The
author illustrates the different perceptions of insurance and of
insurance contract law that are to be found amongst lawyers,
insurers, and policy-holders. In particular, Clarke argues that the
perception of many people, and also not least of many judges, is
that if any dispute arises with insurers, insurers have an unfair
advantage under the law. Moreover, this is in fact usually the
case, if insurers choose to use their advantage. Whilst presenting
the rules of insurance contract law in the wider context of
contract law at large, Clarke seeks to demystify them and to
challenge the assumption that insurance law is or ought to be
greatly different from other parts of the law. In particular, he
argues that insurance contract law should be available and
intelligible to serious enquirers, lawyers, and non-lawyers alike.
