Synopsis

The second edition of Insurance Law: Doctrines and Principles builds on the reputation of the first edition by offering a detailed examination of the developing law of insurance, combining exposition of the law with critical analysis. The book is designed with the needs of the typical undergraduate in mind, while also providing the essential framework for those studying insurance law at postgraduate level. The text is enhanced by extensive citations to case law and academic commentaries. The book is divided into two parts. Part I considers the regulation of insurance business and the general principles underlying the law of insurance contracts. Part II examines the way in which these principles are shaped by the particular insurance context in which they operate. Insurance law is a rapidly developing subject and this edition takes account of the many significant judicial and statutory developments. This new edition has been substantially restructured to complement the authors' Insurance Law: Cases and Materials (Hart Publishing, 2004). The first edition was cited with approval by the Supreme Court of Canada in Oldfield v Transamerica Life Insurance Co of Canada (2002).
