The Modern Law Of Marine Insurance Vol.4

This latest and fourth volume in the series comprises ten contributions written by an expert team of academics and practitioners and which collectively analyse and expound many of the contemporary legal issues and debates in the law and practice of marine insurance.

• An assessment of the Marine Insurance Act 1906
• Construction of marine policies

• Co-insurance and leading underwriter clauses
• Duties of good faith of insurers and reinsurers
• Assured right to interest when a policy is avoided
