In this book, Professor Malcolm Clarke provides a stimulating,
critical introduction to the English law of insurance contracts,
presenting the rules in both their legal and socio-economic
contexts. He sets out the principles behind the law in a clear
manner, moving on to explore 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 book
illustrates the different perceptions of insurance and of insurance
law that are to be found amongst lawyers, insurers, and
policy-holders. In particular, it 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. By presenting the rules of
insurance contract law in the wider context of contract law at
large, the book 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.
