Topics examined include the basis of cover, entering the contract, block notification of claims, aggregation, and the exclusion of cover for fraud and dishonesty. The book also considers the standard terms and policy wordings involved in claims policies and the associated issues that can arise in practice. In addition to providing analysis of English case law, the book also includes authorities from other major Commonwealth jurisdictions to give the most complete interpretation of the law on this specialist area.
