This chapter deals with insurance and the principles of insurance law. Contracts of insurance may be subdivided into two categories: indemnity insurance and contingency insurance. Under a contract of insurance, the event insured against is interpreted to be uncertain, either in the sense that it may or may not occur, or that the time of the occurrence is uncertain. This chapter first explains how insurance works, with a particular focus on insurable interest, the statutes that govern insurance contracts, and the power of the Financial Conduct Authority to authorise persons wishing to conduct business as insurers. It then considers how an insurance contract is formed and goes on to describe the content and interpretation of the contract. It also discusses the liability and rights of the insurer before concluding with an analysis of marine insurance and insurance claims.

Motor Vehicle Insurance

Insurance fraud is prevalent in all spheres of the insurance industry; however, motor vehicle insurance sees a major increase in fraudulent insurance claims. It is for this reason that insurers need mechanisms in place to protect themselves from fraudulent claims by an insured. One of the more common preventative measures that insurers are using to protect themselves is by inserting forfeiture clauses in the insurance contract itself. These clauses aim to protect the insurer against any type of fraudulent claim by the insured. These clauses do, however, also bring a host of issues to the fore; including the fairness of these clauses as against the insured. These clauses do tend to be one-sided and therefore, a proper evaluation of these clauses is necessary to understand the application and effect these clauses can have on both the parties to an insurance contract.

Marine insurance business in Indonesia such as marine hull and machinery insurance and cargo insurance are subject to applicable laws and practices in the United Kingdom. Although Indonesia already has marine insurance law which is regulated in Wetboek van Koophandel, in fact, this business subject to English Law and Practice. The choice of law is listed in the insurance policy. Submission of the law and practice in the UK raises the issue for the parties in the insurance contract, between Insurer and Insured. Although the principle of the contract is a law for those who make it, in practice, there is a problem. The problem is especially when there is a dispute between Insurer and Insured. When disputes occur, each party has a different opinion regarding which country's laws may be applied to resolve disputes between Insurance Companies and Policyholders (the proper law of the contract, the applicable law). When referring to the provisions contained in the marine insurance policy which is a contract of the parties, it should be settled under the legal system and the practice of law which is in force in the United Kingdom, because the choice of law is written in the contract. However, the problem arises again, whether the choice of law in the insurance contract can be applied, if the insurance company as a legal entity is established under Indonesian law and domiciled in Indonesia, as well as the policyholders who are Indonesian. On the basis of such matters, this paper intended to elaborate the principles of international civil law in Indonesia regarding the choice of law in the contract and is also associated with the personal status of the insurance company, the personal status of the policyholder who are Indonesian, as well as the consequences of the choice of law listed in marine hull and machinery insurance or cargo insurance and national laws which can be applied to marine insurance disputes occurring in Indonesia. Keywords: Marine Insurance, Choice of Law
