It explains foundational aspects of UK insurance law-such as the principles of misrepresentation and utmost good faith-and provides an in-depth look at the concept of loss, including key issues like causation and notification requirements.

Since the last edition there have been the usual steady stream of reported cases and regulatory developments. Notable examples are cases arising as a consequence of the COVID-19 lockdown dealing with, among other things, important questions of construction and causation, decisions on insurable interest, the application of s.11 of the Insurance Act 2015, illegality, good faith and exclusion of the 2015 Act's provisions, the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 and aggregation clauses in liability policies.

Recent editions have chronicled the legal consequences of various disasters, including mesothelioma claims following the establishment of tort liability in the Fairchild case in 2001, the Christchurch earthquakes in 2010-2011, and the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in March 2020. These matters have thrown up entirely new legal issues and have challenged what was thought to be orthodox learning on old ones. Key questions arising from them, and in particular the application of business interruption policies to COVID-19 losses, remain unresolved and feature heavily in the present edition. The Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has highlighted a further range of questions which can be and has been answered only by resort to, and reinterpretation of, earlier authority.

The Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012, the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010, and the Insurance Act 2015 have been in force for around a decade. After a slow start, cases are now beginning to come through on the proper interpretation of the legislation. This edition provides detailed commentary on these emerging decisions, highlighting how courts are now interpreting the legislation in practice.
