This book provides an authoritative and comprehensive review of all aspects of the law that relate to liability insurance contracts.

Taking an international comparative perspective, The Law of Liability Insurance covers all the major types of liability insurance, not just professional indemnity insurance, presenting the issues according to the general principles of contract law. The book begins by concentrating on the fundamentals of the liability insurance contract before moving on to review cover and cover conditions, defence, exclusions, and finally claims against and non-payment by the insurer.
