Details
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides valuable practical insight into both public supervisory legislation concerning insurance and private insurance contract law in Japan .

An informative general introduction surveying the legal, political, financial, and commercial background and surroundings of insurance provides a sound foundation for the specific detail that follows.

The book covers all essential aspects of the law and regulation governing insurance policies and instruments. Its detailed exposition includes:
- examination of the form of the insurance company and its reserves and investments;
- the insurance contract;
- the legal aspects of the various branches of property and liability insurance;
- motor vehicle insurance schemes;
- life insurance, health insurance, and workmen’s compensation schemes;
- reinsurance, co-insurance, and pooling;
- taxation of insurance; and risk management and prevention.
Succinct yet eminently practical, the book will be a valuable resource for lawyers handling cases affecting Japan . It will be of practical utility to those both in public service and private practice called on to develop and to apply the laws of insurance, and of special interest as a contribution to the much-needed harmonization of insurance law.
