Editor: Prof. Dr. Herman Cousy

Insurance Law is an in-depth updated reference source concerning all aspects of insurance law in the industrialised countries of the world. Using the same comprehensive format 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 Riassurances) and C.E.A.(Comiti Europien des Assurances).
