The Governance of Insurance Undertakings
Insurance law is multidisciplinary by nature, as it necessarily must interact with other
disciplines, such as actuarial sciences or finance. However, this multi-disciplinarity
also concerns the intersection with other branches of law. Most of the insurance
undertakings are corporations and, as such, they are subject to corporate law rules,
while insurance law is increasingly taking on a transnational connotation in regulating
the organisation and activity of insurance companies. The combination of
company law and insurance-specific rules is at the heart of this investigation.
This book is a collection of contributions from authors with different legal
cultures, and it aims to identify the legal issues that arise from the intersection of
these two disciplines, i.e., insurance law and corporate/company law. The issues
entailed are examined mainly based on the European Union (EU) law, although there
are also contributions from other legal systems that enrich the perspective with
which to approach those issues.
