Critics Review
‘This book is the result of a mind-bendingly huge amount of research. As such, it makes an invaluable contribution to the literature on at least one of the financial services industries which clearly need to put certain reforms in place. Loacker has started a very substantial debate which will continue for some years.’ – Philip Taylor, MBE, Richmond Green Chambers
‘This book is an important contribution to a question that has received little analysis hitherto, namely, what is and what are the effect(s) of the duties imposed on an insurer to provide information to prospective policyholders. As well as original analysis of English, German and prospective European law, and with insights from law and economics, it makes some key recommendations. It should be read by all academics, policymakers, professionals and regulators with an interest in insurance law.’ – John Birds, University of Manchester, UK
‘The serious reader will find here a first class monograph, well-structured and scholarly, with a clear perspective on some important issues arising in the law of insurance contracts today.’ – From the foreword by Malcolm A. Clarke, St John’s College, Cambridge, UK
