Summary |
The aim, however, has not been to write a textbook dealing only with the theoretical aspects of reinsurance. Mainly it is intended for use by insurance and reinsurance practitioners.
Chapters 4 to 9 inclusive deal with matters of general application to all classes of insurance and reinsurance business-the law relating to reinsurance contracts, the advantages and disadvantages of the various forms of reinsurance, the placing of reinsurances facultatively and by treaty, the form and operation of such contracts, and the fixing of retentions.
Chapters 10 to 13 comprise the third part of the book. They deal with the features of the individual classes of reinsurance. The final two chapters then cover the financial and international aspects of reinsurance operations.
