Canadian insurance law is a complex mixture of federal and provincial legislation, common law, and custom. This book offers a concise introduction to this patchwork of regulation. The book is divided into three parts. Part One provides an introduction to the creation and enforcement of insurance contracts. Part Two describes the fundamental rules applicable to the creation of insurance relationships. Part Three outlines the basic rules governing the enforcement of insurance contracts.
