ABOUT THE BOOK

This unique volume, the second to appear in the Huebner international series on risk, Insurance, and economic security, provides basic information necessary to understanding and influencing ratemaking processes when governmental regulatory agencies are involved. The focus of insurance rate litigation is on analyzing adjudicated rate cases. The book chronicles the change in the basic thrust of insurance rate litigation over the past twenty years. It ranges from the traditional regulation of concerted pricing to a new policy involving the regulation of excessive profits. While there are several books that deal with summaries of rate litigation involving insurance companies, and it covers more than three hundred disputes involving insurance ratemaking and insurance rate regulation.
