Policies and Perceptions of Insurance offers an introduction to insurance contract law in the United Kingdom today. Malcolm Clarke provides students with a clear outline of insurance law, while alerting them to the social and theoretical issues arising out of the law and practice of insurance.

The framework for discussion is the tracing of the life of an insurance contract from purchase to claim, which is used to summarize settled and satisfactory legal rules, but also highlight more controversial matters and invite reflection on the objectives of insurance law and whether these objectives have been achieved.
