Law of the sea; Commercial law; Insurance law

The Insurance Act 2015 represents the first major reform of English commercial insurance law for many years. Its impact will be felt not only in England, where it will greatly affect both maritime and commercial insurance practice, but also elsewhere where English law is the law of choice in insurance contracts.

The Insurance Act 2015: A New Regime for Commercial and Marine Insurance Law analyses in depth the key aspects of the Act and extensively restates and modifies a number of legal principles applying both at common law and under the Marine Insurance Act 1906. Offering much more than the usual commentary on legislation, this book provides critical in-depth analysis of the important topics as was all coverage of areas likely to spawn disputes in future.

Written by leading practitioners and academics in the field, this book offers comprehensive, coherent and practical legal analysis of the changes introduced by the Insurance Act 2015. It is a key point of reference for practitioners, insurance professionals and academics.

Reviews for The Insurance Act 2015: A New Regime for Commercial and Marine Insurance Law

'This book comprehensively achieves its twin aims of providing critical in-depth analysis of the Insurance Act 2015 (the 2015 Act) and identifying grey areas in that Act. The editors...have put together a remarkable team of contributing authors, all leaders in their field...It will be of great assistance to brokers, insurers, lawyers, academics, students and, no doubt, in due course, to the judiciary.' John Dunt, The Journal of International Maritime Law
