Editorial Reviews
Review
A most welcome aspect of the content of the text lies in a presentation which is frequently leavened with useful comparative information from both common law and civil law jurisdictions...it is clear that there are few legal academics or law students who will not gain a significant benefit from a perusal of the contents of this valuable book. Dr. J.M.C. Fitchen --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Product Description
This book offers a lively, critical introduction to the subject of insurance law, presenting the rules in both their legal and socio-economic contexts. It examines the growth of contemporary 'compensation culture' and assesses the culture's impact on the development of insurance law and policy. Throughout, the presentation of the English law of insurance is placed in comparative perspective, with broader contract law and the law from the US, Europe and Australia.
