We learned of the publication of
a book on the history of English (marine) insurance law.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book addresses the question
whether English insurance law is in its entirety rooted in marine insurance.
English literature and case law indeed assert that life and fire insurance are
nothing more than offspring of marine insurance. To describe life and fire
insurance law as offspring of marine insurance suggests that the legal rules
and principles as developed in the context of marine insurance were simply
transferred as a whole to life and fire insurance. However, it is possible that
the legal development happened differently. There could rather have been a
convergence of the different legal regimes. To speak of a gradual convergence
suggests that marine insurance law was transposed into life and fire insurance
law only where appropriate. By analyzing this research question, the book
unfolds the roots of modern insurance business in England as well as the
evolution of English insurance law.
