Revisiting Carter v Boehm (1766) 3 Burr 1905, the collected papers in this book are intended as a catalyst for rethinking the pre-contractual duties in insurance law and the related principle of utmost good faith at a critical era for insurance law. In so doing, it endeavours to provide insurance law students, academics, practitioners and judges with new perspectives for a keen understanding of this fundamental aspect of insurance law, which has become increasingly dynamic under both common law and civil law legal traditions. It will explore to what extent and why the doctrines of pre-contractual duties in insurance law under the two major legal traditions are converging, as well as the implications of such convergence. It will be of great interest to students, academics and practitioners in the field of insurance law.This book is the culmination of a colloquium held on 30 November & 1 December 2016 in Singapore and convened by the Centre for Banking and Finance Law, of the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore for the 250th anniversary of the landmark English insurance law case Carter v Boehm (1766) 3 Burr 1905.
