Insurance Law
Editor: Prof. Dr. Herman Cousy E-mail: herman.cousy@law.kuleuven.be
Insurance Law is an in-depth updated reference source
concerning all aspects of insurance law in the industrialized
countries of the world. Using the same comprehensiveformat
as the other International Encyclopaedia of Laws
publications, this set on insurance law includes general
background information and specific country law in each
national monograph.
In addition to national monographs, Insurance Law contains
a Codex with the basic legislation, which the European Union,
the European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation have
adopted with regard to private insurance. Forthcoming
international monographs will examine European Community
Insurance as well as the roles of prominent associations such
as AIDA (Association Internationale de Droit des Assurances),
BIPAR (Bureau International des Producteurs d’Assurances
et de Réassurances) and C.E.A.(Comité Européen des
Assurances).
