This book is a thorough introduction to the Act. It focuses primarily on the impact of the Act on English law as applied to non-consumer insurance and reinsurance.

It also analyses the particular ways in which the Act differs from existing law by reference to the Marine Insurance Act 1906 and cases decided under the old law. | A Practical Guide to the Insurance Act 2015

Knock-for-Knock Indemnities and the Law Contractual Limitation and Delictual Liability

This book examines contractual limitation principles and practice through the use of knock-for-knock indemnity clauses. In using such clauses the parties agree that for certain forms of potential liability – typically property damage personal injury to employees and sometimes other heads of claim such as consequential loss – any loss arising will be absorbed by the party who suffers it: you look after your losses I’ll look after mine. It is an apparently simple pragmatic and neat solution to the question of who bears liability: a risk allocation model so straightforward that it was described by one experienced English judge Honorable Mr. Justice Morison as crude. A specialist contributor team of international experts examine the origin application and effect of these clauses in important jurisdictions their impact in different industries such as oil & gas shipping construction and insurance through the lenses of both economic and legal analyses. The book is of use for lawyers economists and businesspeople who draft negotiates or manage contracts in all industries where liability is dealt with in this way. It is also of interest to students academics and policy makers. | Knock-for-Knock Indemnities and the Law Contractual Limitation and Delictual Liability

The Law and Autonomous Vehicles

When will we see autonomous vehicles on our roads? The answer is that to some degree they are already here. Numerous organisations are testing fully autonomous prototypes on public roads in the UK and even commercially available vehicles already have several ‘quasi-autonomous’ features. KPMG has forecasted that the connected and autonomous vehicles market could be worth as much as £51 billion to the British economy by 2030 and could create some 30 000 new jobs over the same period. Accordingly the UK and a number of other jurisdictions are already implementing legal reforms with a view to smoothing the path for this technology. Notably Parliament has passed the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 dealing with the insurance of such vehicles and changes are currently being made to the Road Vehicle (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 and to the Highway Code to accommodate highly automated technologies. The government has also issued non-statutory guidance in relation to testing on public roads and in relation to vehicle cybersecurity. Against this rapidly changing landscape this book analyses the key legal issues facing autonomous vehicles including testing on public roads insurance product liability and cyber security and data protection. It also examines the approach being taken in other jurisdictions including Austria Germany Greece Italy the USA and South Africa. | The Law and Autonomous Vehicles
