Insurance law
![A strict duty of disclosure and good faith applies to selling most financial products, since Carter v Boehm[3] where Lord Mansfield held an East India Company fort holder failed to warn the insurer of an impending French invasion.

Insurance law is the practice of law surrounding insurance, including insurance policies and claims. It can be broadly broken into three categories - regulation of the business of insurance; regulation of the content of insurance policies, especially with regard to consumer policies; and regulation of claim handling.
