Details

In this report 鈥業nsurance Contract Law: Business Disclosure; Warranties; Insurers鈥� Remedies for Fraudulent Claims; and Late Payment鈥�, the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission recommend reform of the law in four areas of insurance law:

  • the duty of disclosure in business and other non-consumer insurance
  • the law of insurance warranties
  • insurer鈥檚 remedies for fraudulent claims
  • late payment of insurance claims
  • these reforms would be a default scheme for business insurance, leaving the parties free to agree alternative arrangements in their contracts provided they do so transparently.
