This chapter studies insurance contracts. A contract of insurance is one whereby one party (the insurer) promises in return for a money consideration (the premium) to pay to the other party (the assured) a sum of money or provide him with some corresponding benefit, upon the occurrence of one or more specified events. Their assignability is complicated by two factors. First, there are a number of different rules whereby an assignment can be effected, in addition to the equitable and statutory (section 136 of the Law of Property Act 1925) methods. Second, when considering the assignment of insurance contacts, it is important to be clear about what it is that is being assigned. The chapter then considers the transferability of the assured's right under four types of insurance: indemnity insurance; life insurance; marine insurance; and reinsurance.

Life insurance is the field of insurance which covers all those types of insurance where the occurrence of the insured accident is connected to a certain event in the life of the insured person. There are two basic types of life insurance: life insurance in case of death of the insured person and annuity insurance in case the insured person lives longer, t.i beyond the insured life term. Life insurance is the insurance where the insurer for a certain insurance premium assumes the obligation to pay to the insured person or the other beneficiary designated by the insured person a certain sum of money in case of his death or annuity installments in case he lives longer then the agreed life term. Although originally, life insurance was forbidden and was considered to be an unethical legal activity, today life insurance is accepted in legislations and in practice worldwide and it has been proven as a very beneficial and justified institute. This type of service is offered by insurance companies with an investment aspect which allows life insurance to keep its traditional function (protection from various risks – death, disability, life longer than the agreed insurance term), but also to have a wider, macroeconomic function in the form of savings and investment. This service has not been widely accepted in the Republic of Serbia although it is regulated by both the Law on insurance and the Law of contract and torts. In the 1990s it almost ceased to exist, while nowadays it started to revive, but with far less cases than in EU countries and other countries of developed world.

Generic Instability

AbstractThough legal discourse has undergone several steps of metamorphosis to evolve from a law and language discourse that considers the subject of the law sacred to a language of the law discourse that views “language as social action and law as social discourse” (Goodrich 1987: 76), it is still believed that “legal language has to be the way it is” (Danet 1980: 541). This is relevant especially to those genres at the frozen written end of the legal discourse scale. However, the fact that legal texts “can be relatively precise, or quite general or vague, depending on the strategic objectives of the drafter” (Tiersma 2008: 7) can create blurs within the determinacy of such genres. In this context, the genre of Life Insurance Contracts which belongs to the written mode and frozen style end of the legal language continuum is studied to investigate to what extent we can talk about challenging generic stability in such a genre. The focus is put specifically on the frequency of use of personal pronouns in this genre that claims functional redundancy. The experiential meta-function of Systemic Functional Linguistics is also used to detect the participant roles assigned to these pronouns and to find out if the frequency of certain roles is generic. These frequencies that are computed using the UAM computational CorpusTool in a corpus made up of 16 contracts counting 174.288 words are studied in relation to the purposes of the legal genre of Life Insurance Contracts.

Two Factors

The present research aims to examine the factor structure of the Hellenic WISC-III in a sample of 50 children with learning disabilities. The results show the existence of a factorial model with two factors, one aggregating the Comprehension verbal subtest with four performance subtests and the other the Picture Arrangement performance subtest with four verbal subtests. This two-factor model includes loadings in two factors that relate to the sequencing abilities and the verbal reasoning abilities of children. These findings assert the clinical value of the intelligence evaluation in these children.

It is concluded that the financial services market is an important element of the development of the economy as a whole, in particular, it concerns not only the state but also society. We must understand that when this market is settled, that is, all bodies that carry out state regulation are competent in their powers, only then will we make informed, effective decisions about the normal and effective functioning of the RFP. It is important that the data of the subjects of control do not overlap, their activities should be fixed at the legislative level. It is also worth bearing in mind that appropriate conditions must be created to create compensatory mecha- nisms in the financial services markets by developing a system for guarante- eing deposits and providing for payments under long-term life insurance contracts, non-state pension provisions, deposits with deposit accounts to credit unions, etс.

Affirmative Consent

In California, where I live, an affirmative consent law was recently passed: often referred to as the “yes means yes” standard for sexual assault, it is now required of all colleges receiving state funds. Supporters of the law argue that campus rapists can no longer be exonerated because their victims did not resist or were incapacitated by fear, shame, or intoxication. On the other side of the country, a student at Columbia University became an icon in this ongoing legal struggle by carrying her mattress around with her everywhere, including to her graduation, as a sign of protest against the university’s refusal to expel the male student who raped her.
