Chinese Insurance Contracts: Law and Practice was the first systematic text written in English, offering a critical analysis of the major principles, doctrines and concepts of insurance contract law in China. Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the many developments within both professional and research environments since its original publication, this second edition also features two new chapters for understanding the law relating to insurance intermediaries and the mechanisms of insurance dispute resolution. The book provides a comprehensive picture of Chinese insurance contract law, to facilitate a wider understanding of the relevant rules of law. Elements of insurance contract law are critically examined, and it presents rules of law on some special types of insurance contract, such as life insurance, property insurance, liability insurance, motor vehicle insurance, reinsurance, and marine insurance. The deficiencies and shortcomings of the law and practice are identified and analysed; suggestions and recommendations on how to reform the law are presented. Chinese Insurance Contracts also offers legal and practical advice to insurance professionals on how to draft clauses to avoid contractual pitfalls. Pertinent cases are used to illustrate the difficulties which can arise in applying the principles in practice. This book is essential reading for insurance companies and legal practitioners looking to do business in China, as well as a vital reference for Chinese lawyers practising insurance law. It will also be a useful resource for students and academics studying Chinese law.
