Conclusion and Form of the Contract Austria Bulgaria Croatia
Conclusion and form of the contract1 Austria § 3 VersVG: - Insurer must transmit insurance certificate to insured on paper or electronically. - Copy of genuine signature sufficient. Bulgaria There is a general reference to the Contracts and Obligations Act and the Commercial Act as to the conclusion of contracts, offer and acceptance and other general civil/commercial law rules. Art.184 Code for the Insurance: An insurance contract shall be concluded in writing in the form of an insurance policy or of another written act. The written proposal or request addressed to the insurer concerning the conclusion of an insurance contract or written replies of the insured to queries made by the insurer with regard to circumstances of importance to assessing the nature and amount of risk, shall form an integral part of the insurance contract. The written form is deemed observed in cases where the contract has been drawn up in the form of an electronic document. The insurance contract may also be concluded through the means of long distance communication if this has been provided for by law. Art.261, para.1 Code for the Insurance: Compulsory third party motor insurance contract has the form of an insurance policy and a mark issued by the Guarantee fund. The insurance policy is a special form printed in accordance with the procedure for printing securities. Croatia Pursuant to Article 925 of the Civil Obligations Act the insurance contract shall be concluded only when the application concerning the insurance has been accepted. The contract shall be concluded by consensus of both parties, and after the conclusion of the insurance contract, the insurer shall immediately provide the policyholder with a clearly written up and signed insurance policy or any other document relating to insurance (covering note, etc.) Only exceptionally a written form of the insurance contract is required, since the contract shall be considered concluded when signed by the insurer and the policyholder. -
The Police Code
THE POLICE CODE AND GENERAL MANUAL OF THE CRIMINAL LAW BY SIR HOWARD VINCENT, K.C.M.G., C.B. FIFTEENTH EDITION. 1912 • Title pages, Advertising, Preface and Introduction • An Address to Police Constables on their Duties by The Late Right Hon. Lord Brampton • Police Code • Appendices • Index e-text notes: This book was originally used by London's Metropolitan Police Force, adopted by police forces throughout the United Kingdom, and subsequently adapted for the use of police forces in other Commonwealth nations. It is my belief that all European copyright in the original text has expired; however, the heirs of the late F. T. Bigham may still own copyright in the revisions he made for this edition. I have been unable to contact them, but would be grateful if they could let me know if there is any objection to continued free publication of this work. This volume did not originally have a table of contents, except at the start of the appendices. The main Police Code section is organized alphabetically; embedded links in the code correspond to the page numbers of the book, and are used as links from the Index and from many of the entries. For convenience I have added links to the first page for each letter at the beginning and end of this section. It should be obvious that this is NOT a reliable guide to current British law and police procedures; there have been many changes since this edition was originally published, not least in the degree of responsibility expected of constables. It's most useful as a snapshot view of law enforcement a century ago, which may be helpful to anyone reading or writing about this period, or as a starting point for finding the specifics of a later period. -

His opinion was it is neither insurance nor wager. The concern of ISDA is telling as it bespeaks the ambiguity of the purpose of CDS and derivative transactions in general - whether they are designed for hedging or speculation. But the predominant concern is their speculative nature. If their sole purpose is for speculation, they are opened to the charge that their purpose is wagering. -

Department of Q^p^ <^ Ql(=3 jL^&JA The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date 3gT)ftf/33- DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT The term "lottery scheme" is a generic one used in the Criminal Code of Canada to encompass both true lotteries and other games of chance. Until 1969, the Criminal Code prohibited such gambling activities, with the exception of very small scale, occasional and private lottery schemes run for charitable purposes, and lottery schemes operated at agricultural fairs. This criminal prohibition was a longstanding one which had existed in Canada since before Confederation. -
Betting on Bowlers: This Just Isn't Cricket

For more information, please contact [email protected],[email protected]. BETTING ON BOWLERS: THIS JUST ISN'T CRICKET Erin GardnerSchenk* I. INTRODUCTION Traditionally, the idiom, "this just isn't cricket," refers to something awry or dishonorable.' The expression derives from the strict code of sportsmanship that gave cricket the badge of being the "gentlemen's sport." However, stemming from the increasingly immense popularity of Indian cricket throughout the last century, sports betting-an illegal pastime under India's gambling laws-has also become a huge industry. 2 Because punters3 often wager enormous sums of money, corruption within the sport of cricket, in the forms of match-fixing and spot- fixing,4 has become increasingly problematic.5 In response to this corruption, many Indians advocate for the legalization of gambling, including sports betting, arguing that legalization would remove the incentive to bet on the black market * Erin Gardner Schenk (J.D., 2014, University of Denver; B.B.A., 2005, University of Oklahoma) is grateful for the endowment of the Honorable Leonard v.B. -

Updated Draft Insurable Interest Bill for Review
The Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission Reforming insurance contract law Updated draft Insurable Interest bill for review June 2018 ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT We are publishing an updated draft Bill to allow stakeholders an opportunity to consider whether the drafting achieves the stated policy aims. The draft Bill, together with a paper on the current law, is available separately. This document seeks to explain the draft Bill in its current form. We ask stakeholders for their views on the draft and about the potential impact of our proposed reforms. We welcome comments on this draft Bill by Friday 14 September 2018, by email to: [email protected] Privacy Notice Under the General Data Protection Regulations (May 2018), the Law Commissions must state the lawful bases for processing personal data. The Commissions have a statutory function, stated in the 1965 Act, to receive and consider any proposals for the reform of the law which may be made or referred to us. This need to consult widely requires us to process personal data in order for us to meet our statutory functions as well as to perform a task, namely reform of the law, which is in the public interest. We therefore rely on the following lawful bases: (c) Legal obligation: processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (e) Public task: processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Law Commission projects are usually lengthy and often the same area of law will be considered on more than one occasion. -

Insurable Interest and Post Contractual Good Faith (Including Fraud and Damages for Late Payment of Claims)
PART 1 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND 1.1 The Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission are conducting a joint review of insurance contract law. The aim is to ensure that the law balances the interests of insured and insurer, reflects the needs of modern insurance practice and allows both insured and insurer to know their rights and obligations. 1.2 The Commissions published the first of two consultation papers (covering misrepresentation, non-disclosure and breach of warranty by the insured) in July 2007. The second consultation paper will consider insurable interest and post contractual good faith (including fraud and damages for late payment of claims). As with our first consultation paper, we are publishing issues papers setting out our preliminary thinking on each of these topics before the main consultation paper is published. 1.3 This issues paper sets out our preliminary thinking on insurable interest. 1.4 The paper has not been approved by Commissioners. Its purpose is to promote discussion before the formal consultation process on insurable interest begins. The contents should not be quoted as representing the views of either Commission. 1.5 Our tentative proposals for reform and questions are listed within the text and are set out in full in Part 8. We seek views on our tentative proposals and questions by 11 April 2008 and would be grateful if responses could be sent: by email to [email protected]; or by post to: Elizabeth Waller, Law Commission, Conquest House, 37-38 John Street, Theobalds Road, London WC1N 2BQ (tel: 020 7453 1231); or by fax to: 020 7453 1297, marked for the attention of Elizabeth Waller.
