Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unassuming but formidable, American maritime insurers used their position at the pinnacle of global trade to shape the new nation. The international information they gathered and the capital they generated enabled them to play central roles in state building and economic development. During the Revolution, they helped the U.S. negotiate foreign loans, sell state debts, and establish a single national bank. Afterward, they increased their influence by lending money to the federal government and to its citizens. Even as federal and state governments began to encroach on their domain, maritime insurers adapted, preserving their autonomy and authority through extensive involvement in the formation of commercial law. Leveraging their claims to unmatched expertise, they operated free from government interference while simultaneously embedding themselves into the nation's institutional fabric. By the early nineteenth century, insurers were no longer just risk assessors. They were nation builders and market makers. Deeply and imaginatively researched, Underwriters of the United States uses marine insurers to reveal a startlingly original story of risk, money, and power in the founding era.

Download or read book Research Handbook on International Insurance Law and Regulation written by Julian Burling and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Global insurance and its rapidly evolving law and regulation demands international research. To this aim, the Handbook offers a truly international collection of essays. Highly renowned experts analyze the key topics currently under international discussion and development. While representing a diversity of national jurisdictions, the focus lies on the largest insurance jurisdictions (USA, UK and Germany) but newly important jurisdictions like Brazil and China are considered as well a most valuable and important contribution to international insurance law literature.' Manfred Wandt, Director of the Insurance Law Institute, Goethe-University Frankfurt, Germany 'This Research Handbook is published at an opportune time. A global review of insurance law and regulation is underway. Much reform happens locally with little reference to developments elsewhere and this Research Handbook brings the strands together. It is a comprehensive review by distinguished authors from different backgrounds including both leading academics and practitioners. They consider the definitions of insurance, its economic underpinnings, comparative law and regulations, actual and proposed reforms, the effects on underwriting and claims and how insurance is studied and taught. Good laws and regulation benefit the market and its customers. Bad laws and regulation do the opposite. This book is required reading for all involved in the reform process.' David Hertzell, Law Commissioner 'Globalisation has had no greater impact in the commercial world than on insurance, the law which governs it and the risks it seeks to address. Those who inspired this publication and the contributing authors, are to be thanked for providing such a necessary and useful reference source. It covers so much of what insurance professionals need to be aware of in the insurance/law world of the twenty first century.' Michael Gill, President of the International Insurance Law Association Given its economic importance, insurance is a field that has been underserved as an area of academic study. This detailed book provides much needed coverage of insurance law and regulation in its international context. Produced in association with Lloyd's, it draws on the expertise both of academics and practising lawyers. Containing 30 comprehensive chapters, it provides in-depth studies on key areas, such as the role of international organisations, the judicial interpretation of insurance contract clauses and transnational regulatory recognition. It also provides thorough introductions to important jurisdictions, including the EU, US and Japan as well as focusing on newly emerging economies such as China and Brazil. Specialist topics covered include regulation by and of Lloyd's, the tort of bad faith in the US, microinsurance and takaful insurance. This well-documented resource will appeal to academics and students in insurance law and regulation, policymakers and private practice lawyers. The book also aims to stretch the imagination of anyone with an interest in insurance law and regulation, providing detailed analysis and avenues for further investigation.

Download or read book Lowry Rawlings and Merkin s Insurance Law written by Rob Merkin QC and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 611 pages.

Book excerpt: The 4th edition of this leading introductory text – now under the sole authorship of Rob Merkin QC – provides a detailed examination of the developing law of insurance, combining exposition of the law with critical analysis. The book is designed primarily for undergraduate and postgraduate students, but is also a useful resource for those in the insurance industry studying for professional examinations and legal practitioners who need a concise guide to the legal principles. The text is enhanced by extensive citations to case law and academic commentaries; and a new companion website delivers annual case law updates. This new edition has been substantially rewritten in light of the transformation of insurance law in recent years. The text has been revised to include new legislation and coverage of the effects of Brexit. However, the approach and - where possible - the analysis of John Lowry and Philip Rawlings have been retained. The first part of the book considers the regulation of insurance business and the general principles underlying the law of insurance contracts. The second part examines the way those principles are shaped by the context in which they operate. A new chapter with case studies on COVID-19, earthquakes, and mesothelioma applies the principles to the problems and uncertainties for insurance law revealed by catastrophic losses. This authoritative text offers a sound grasp of the current realities of insurance practice.

Download or read book Principles of Insurance Law written by Jeffrey W. Stempel and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, there have been a number of important developments in the areas of liability, property, and life and health insurance that have significantly changed insurance law. Accordingly, the Fourth Edition of Principles of Insurance Law has been substantially rewritten, reformatted, and refocused in order to offer the insurance law student and practitioner a broad perspective of both traditional insurance law concepts and cutting-edge legal issues affecting contemporary insurance law theory and practice. This edition not only expands the scope of topical coverage, but also segments the law of insurance in a manner more amenable to study, as well as facilitating the recombination and reordering of the chapters as desired by individual instructors. The Fourth Edition of Principles of Insurance Law includes new and expanded treatment of important insurance law developments, including: The critical role of insurance binders as temporary forms of insurance as illustrated in the World Trade Center property insurance disputes resulting from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; The continuing debate between "legal formalists" and "legal functionalists" for "the heart and soul" of insurance contract law; What constitutes a policyholder's "reasonable expectation" regarding coverage; The current property and liability insurance "crisis"; Risk management and self-insurance issues; Emerging, and frequently conflicting, case law concerning the intersection of insurance law and federal anti-discrimination regulation; Ongoing interpretive battles over the preemptive scope of ERISA; The United States Supreme Court ruling that a California statute attempting to leverage European insurers into honoring commitments to Holocaust era policies is preempted by the Executive's power over foreign affairs; The State Farm v. Campbell decision, which struck down a $145 million punitive damages award in an insurance bad faith claim as well as setting more restrictive parameters for the recovery of punitive damages; New issues over the dividing line between "tangible" property typically covered under a property insurance policy and "intangible" property, which is typically excluded -- an issue of increasing importance in the digital and cyber age; Refinement of liability insurance law regarding trigger of coverage, duty to defend, reimbursement of defense costs, and apportionment of insurer and policyholder responsibility for liability payments; The difficult-to-harmonize decisions concerning when a loss arises out of the "use" of an automobile; Insurer bad faith and the availability, if any, of actions against a policyholder for "reverse bad faith"; and The degree to which excess insurance and reinsurance may be subject to modified approaches to insurance policy construction. The Teacher's Manual highlights the differences between the Third Edition and the Fourth Edition. In addition, it includes case-brief summaries of the major cases excerpted in the book; authors' analyses of the notes, questions, and problems that follow the principal cases; and offers alternative syllabuses for planning purposes. This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.
