The 11th edition of our market-leading Insurance Contracts Act Handbook – a reliable, trusted reference in the insurance sector for almost 30 years – is now available online.
Offering a practical overview of Australia's Insurance Contracts Act 1984, the latest edition of the Handbook captures all amendments to the Act as well as commentary on important case law developments over the past three years.
In the Handbook, we highlight and simplify the developments through a concise summary of case facts and principles, as well as outline some practical implications of the Act for those in the sector. The Handbook is designed to help you:
- keep pace with the legislative and case law developments
- navigate your day to day work, whether drafting a new policy and endorsements or assessing a claim.
Since our last edition, a major development in insurance contract law in Australia has been the introduction of Unfair Contract Terms (UCT) legislation.
The UCT provisions as they apply to insurance contracts have effect from 5 April 2021. We have included the UCT provisions and our commentary on them behind the Insurance Contracts Regulations 2017 (Cth).
