Commercial Insurance Law: Emerging Trends and New Perspectives (Maritime and Transport Law Library) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

For commercial organisations, certainty and stability are essential. Yet unexpected events—and shifting economic or geopolitical conditions—frequently pose serious risks. One of the most effective tools for mitigating such risks is insurance. This edited volume explores key developments in commercial insurance law, examining both doctrinal issues and their relationship with real-world market practice. It also addresses emerging trends, offering a contemporary perspective on how insurance law is evolving in response to legal, technological, and global changes. The discussion ranges across national and international contexts.

The book is divided into four parts. The first parts analyse recent statutory and judicial developments in English law, assessing their impact on market practice. The authors also explore niche insurance sectors and comparative law perspectives. The third part focuses on technology-driven developments and the legal questions they raise. The final part addresses post-settlement issues, such as subrogation and the rights of assignees. In this area, longstanding principles have recently been tested in courts, yielding some unexpected—and practically significant—outcomes.

Commercial Insurance Law is for lawyers and administrators not only in England and Wales but worldwide, including international commercial centres such as Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and India. It will also be of interest to specialist law libraries in Europe and the USA, specialist maritime law firms in the USA, and university libraries where maritime and shipping law are taught as specialist subjects.
