Mannings Six Principles of General Insurance

A Comprehensive Guide to Utmost Good Faith, Indemnity, Subrogation, Contribution, Insurable Interest & Proximate Cause

Dr Manning takes you on a guided tour of the fundamental principles of insurance, exploring the rich history of one of the world’s oldest industries. This Guide explains how each principle is interpreted and, where appropriate, how and when it has changed over time.

A thorough understanding of these principles is not just important at the time of a claim, but also prior to and at the time of entering an insurance contract, and throughout the life of the contract. Using examples from modern and centuries-old court cases, and drawing on Dr Manning’s expert knowledge of the workings of general insurance, this Guide is a must for anyone operating in this field.
