• Duty of Disclosure of Material Facts (Duty of Fair Presentation)

    A material fact is an important fact about you or your circumstances. Fair presentation means that you must have disclosed all material facts, matters and circumstances which you know, which could influence an insurer's or underwriter's decision to accept your insurance. This also applies to facts that you ought to know. You must disclose sufficient information to make the insurers aware that they need to make further enquiries. They can then choose to accept or decline your insurance. If they accept, they may apply certain terms. The duty of fair presentation is a significant obligation placed upon you under the contract of insurance. If you fail to meet this obligation, insurers can take various actions in accordance with the Insurance Act 2015.

  • Important Notice to Policyholders (The 2015 Insurance Act)

    As a result of changes introduced under the Insurance Act 2015 your policy terms and conditions have been updated accordingly. Your policy is a contract of insurance between you and the insurers, and you have a duty to make a fair presentation of the risk in accordance with the law.  This applies prior to the start of your policy, if any variation is required during the period of insurance and prior to each renewal.

Declare your policy void (treating your policy as it had never existed), 2. Change the terms of your policy, 3. Refuse to deal with all or part of any claim or reduce the amount of any claim payment or 4. Cancel your policy.
