Obliegenheiten im Versicherungsvertragsrecht

Fifty years after the foundation of the European Communities, the single European market for insurances has not yet become reality. Although three generations of EC directives have implemented the freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services, insurance companies still essentially refrain from cross-border transactions. As the lack of cross-border activity has to be attributed to the lack of uniform rules on insurance contract law, Giesela Rühl compares the obligations of the insured under both common law and civil law and makes proposals for regulation in a European insurance contract law.
