Duty of Disclosure Before you enter into a contract of General insurance with an insurer,
you have a duty, under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 as amended, to disclose to the
insurer every matter that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, is relevant
to the insurer's decision whether to accept the risk of the insurance and, if so, on what
terms.
You have the same duty to disclose these matters to the insurer before you renew,
extend, vary or reinstate a contract of General insurance.
Your duty however, does not require disclosure of matter:-
that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the insurer
that is of common knowledge
that your insurer knows or, in the ordinary course of his business, ought to know.Non-Disclosure If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure, the insurer may be
entitled to reduce his liability under the contract in respect of a claim or may cancel the
contract.
If your non-disclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may also have the option of avoiding
the contract from its beginning.
Average Provision The insurer will pay legal expenses in addition to the sum insured, if
however, the total amount of the loss (less legal expenses) ultimately paid to the
claimant(s) exceeds the sum insured then insurers will only pay (in addition to the sum
insured) that proportion of the legal expenses as the sum insured bears to the loss.

cover the interests of any third party (e.g. financiers, lessors, etc) unless the interests of
the third party are noted in the policy.
Waiver of Insurer's Rights You must not enter into any agreement without the
written authority of the insurer whereby any of their rights to which they become
