The insurance market is in the midst of worldwide change, but London continues to be a leading centre for work. That means the UK authorities often turn their eye on the way the market operates.
In this Insurance Special Report The Lawyer looks at the Law Commission’s work on misrepresentation and non-disclosure in the insurance market prior to the publication of a formal paper on the issue next year.
It also examines the effect of the new ‘sidecar’ model on the Lloyd’s reinsurance market. Will this new investment vehicle sweep the market?Insurance is not limited to Lloyd’s, however.
