About this title

Review

A very readable book which sets out the law in a complex area with the minimum of jargon and the maximum of clarity.A comprehensive and practical work, which should be in the office of any reinsurer underwriting property business in the UK.... it deservedly takes its place alongside classics such as MacGillivray and ColinvauxThe book must be of particular value to practitioners who do not deal with insurance contract issues on a regular basis.... a useful addition to the insurance law literature. New Law Journal, of a previous edition.
