About this course
In this short course, we look at some of the core principles of marine insurance. That is, uberrimae fidei, which is also referred to as the principle of utmost good faith and we will also look at the changes made to the above principle under the Insurance Act 2015 which was then modified as the duty of fair presentation.
We continue with warranties, the changes made to warranties under the Insurance Act 2015 and finally we examine another principle called subrogation in marine insurance practice.
