"Insurance claims are the reason for the existence of the insurance industry. In this comprehensive work, authors Paul Michalik and Chris Boys put claims at the heart of their analysis of insurance law in New Zealand. Insurance Claims in New Zealand is a rigorous and complete presentation of the law relating to how insurance claims are made and assessed in New Zealand. The authors examine issues arising at every level in the process -- from determining the validity of the policy and resolving issues of coverage and exclusion, to assessing the quantum of the loss or damage to be paid. Since 2015, when the first edition was published, there have been a number of developments in Insurance law: the concept of post claim good faith has developed; a number of outstanding unresolved issues have received judicial attention, including the assignment of claims rights, and the fraudulent claims rule; the issue of insurers' liability for defective repairs has been resolved; the Earthquake Commission/Toka Tū Ake's empowering legislation has been substantially overhauled; the Canterbury Earthquake Insurance Tribunal was established; and the Government has begun the work of meaningful insurance law reform"--Publisher information.
Colinvaux s Law of Insurance was published in December 2014 as the first major insurance law treatise in New Zealand. Based on the Sweet & Maxwell title of the same name, it launched with an established reputation, expert authors, and into a climate where insurance practitioners require accessible analysis and guidance faster than ever. The new edition incorporates major case law and legislative developments in the last three years, including further analysis of insurance after natural disasters and increasing parallels with the Australian regime.
"This important title is a product of many years of research of English, Australian and New Zealand law. It is particularly timely in light of law generated by the recent Christchurch earthquakes. However, the book is a comprehensive guide to all major aspects of insurance law in New Zealand, an indispensible reference work for all New Zealand law practitioners. Key points: First major work on insurance law in New Zealand for 22 years and draws from a body of insurance jurisprudence in excess of 1000 New Zealand cases. The author team used the English edition of Colinvaux as a starting point, however significant parts of the work are quite different, reflecting the statutory and judicial variations in the New Zealand jurisdiction. The work draws upon New Zealand insurance law and also sets out principles developed by the English courts and refined by the Australian courts. Each chapter provides a detailed discussion on the law of insurance with a focus on modern developments in the law and market place. The crisp, analytical style succinctly explains complex topics and covers the most recent developments that have transformed the law in this area."--Publisher's website.
