Overview

Written by a team of specialists in the field, this new book is a must have for all those dealing with reinsurance law matters. It fills the gap for a much needed specialist text on reinsurance that is both practical and authoritative, and avoids discussion of general insurance matters which are covered elsewhere. This is a fully discursive text that states the position under the current law and applies it to practice. Every aspect of reinsurance law practice is covered beginning with an investigation of the definition, purpose and types of reinsurance. Guidance is given on contractual principles and terms in the reinsurance context, obligations, rights and liabilities of the reinsurer, and the choice of law.
