A brilliant, informative book. The index and the footnotes, both key ports of call for the busy practitioner, are especially wonderful. Extraction of desired information and even answers is, as evidently intended by the author, made both swift and simple. I love this book. * Maryon Wynter Chambers * It is extremely welcome to find a book addressing the law of insurance in which clear and succinct answers can readily be found -- Colin Edelman, QC * Foreword to the 3rd Edition * ...this is one of the most useful textbooks on insurance law and probably the first one I will be referring to in its subject area -- Jonathan Goodliffe (Review of a previous edition) * BILA Journal * ...an excellent guide for those of legal and other backgrounds who are involved or even interested in the insurance world...I would suggest that this book be essential reading for legal practitioners, given insurance issues affect all of us. It should be required reading for insurance industry personnel...even lay people purchasing or holding a policy would find this book of great value. -- Biran Risman (Review of a previous edition * The Law Journal UK *
