Birds' Modern Insurance Law provides an invaluable analysis of the increasingly complex legal rules affecting contracts of insurance. The aim throughout is to offer a concise explanation of the fundamental principles of insurance law in a straightforward manner. This edition incorporates all recent developments including: case law on utmost good faith, case law on warranties and other terms, the impact on insurance of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, the case law clarifying the nature of composite insurance, the potential impact of Investors Compensation Scheme v West Bromwich Building Society on the construction of insurance contracts and developments in motor vehicle insurance, including the possible incompatibility of British Law with EC directives. It analyses the complex legal rules affecting contracts of nuisance, and the regulatory bodies set up under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The role of Commonwealth authorities and European Community law is also addressed.
