Publication of The Hong Kong Encyclopaedia of Forms and Precedents – Insurance Volume
The Insurance Volume of The Hong Kong Encyclopaedia of Forms and Precedents, co-authored by SW’s three experienced insurance practitioners Mr. Neville Watkins and Ms. Heidi Chui, partners, and Mr. Angus Forsyth, senior consultant, has been published.
This volume contains a detailed commentary on Hong Kong insurance law, which provides an informative read with a hard pragmatic edge. It is designed to assist legal practitioners by providing a basic guide through the complex structure of rules, codes and practice directions requiring observance in implementing the self-regulation of the insurance industry in Hong Kong.
The Commentary sets out and distinguishes between the major players in the insurance industry under self-regulation as separately defined in and provided for under the Insurance Companies Ordinance (Cap. 41) between insurers (including reinsurers) and the intermediaries which comprise brokers and agents. It further explains and, by reference to decided Hong Kong cases and UK cases which are of persuasive authority, sets out the various necessary principles of insurance law giving useful definitions.
The Commentary is linked by cross-references to the Forms and Precedents, which include a useful glossary giving the meanings of technical terms and acronyms widely used in the insurance industry.
