Presenters: Bridget Wall
During this session insurance partner Bridget Wall will explain what is considered to be a misrepresentation under the Insurance Contracts Act and the scope of an insured’s duty of disclosure obligations. We will discuss some recent trends in non-disclosure/misrepresentation cases as well as how these trends practically play out when arranging a policy or when a claim occurs.
