This book offers a lively, critical introduction to the subject of insurance law, presenting the rules in both their legal and socio-economic contexts. It examines the growth of contemporary 'compensation culture' and assesses the culture's impact on the development of insurance law and policy. Throughout, the presentation of the English law of insurance is placed in comparative perspective, with broader contract law and the law from the US, Europe and Australia.

This book provides a critical introduction to the English law of insurance contracts and presents the rules in both their legal and socio-economic contexts. It examines the importance of effective insurance and of effective insurance contract law in society today. The author sets the rules of insurance contract law in the wider context of contract law in general, in order to demystify them and to challenge past assumptions that this area of law is arcane and significantly different from other parts of the law. Comparative reference is made to the corresponding rules in common law countries and also in major jurisdictions in western Europe.

Approximately 40 per cent of value of international trade comes from goods carried by air, and the consequences of goods being damaged, destroyed or delayed can be serious, substantial, and perhaps unforeseen. This exciting new book is the only one on the market that deals exclusively with air cargo insurance, and will therefore, be a vital addition to the collection of any practitioner, professional or academic working in the field. Air Cargo Insurance analyses the model policies and standard terms and conditions on the London markets. The authors also provide readers with an invaluable perspective on cases in other jurisdictions, and the book discusses freight forwarders’ relations with airlines and addresses the possibility of recovery from third parties. This book, written by two of the leading experts in the field, provides invaluable guidance to practitioners, arbitrators and cargo-claims professionals. It will help to ensure that air cargo insurance contracts are better drafted and enforceable, as well as assisting in cases of disputed claims. Academics and postgraduate students specialising in the areas of in air and insurance law will also find this book extremely useful.

Bishops and archbishops, top footballers, politicians and actors...they all count him as their friend. Prime Ministers and senior royals stop and listen to his opinions. He's got an honorary degree and his very own football club. There was even a movie about him on national television. But who is Neil Baldwin? At Keele University they hold regular celebrations and chapel services for the decades he's been the friend of students, academics and vice-chancellors. But he's never been a student, or a teacher, or had any formal connection with the place. At Stoke City Football Club, he's 'more famous than the players.' He's even got a dialogue going with the Queen, though that one's still a little one-sided. But who is he, and what's he famous for? When he was a boy in a working-class part of the Potteries in the fifties and sixties, the education system wrote him off. But Neil thinks 'you can get things by asking for them.' He also thinks his late Mum wanted him to have a happy life, and it's his duty to her to have one. So he does. This is the inspiring and, at times, hysterically funny story of Neil's extraordinary life.
