Author Description

Product Description This book offers an up-to-date introduction to insurance contract law in the United Kingdom. Malcolm Clarke provides students with a clear outline of insurance law, and also alerts them to relevant social and theoretical issues stemming from the law and practice of insurance. The discussion's framework is a tracing of the life of an insurance contract from purchase to claim, which is used to summarize both settled and satisfactory legal rules--and to highlight more controversial matters and invite reflection on the objectives of insurance law. Clarke finally asks whether these objectives have been achieved. About the Author Malcolm Clarke, Reader in Commercial Contract Law, Cambridge University.
