According to the author, only in certain situations may the non-adjustment of insurance products to the demands and needs of the customer lead to the invalidity of insurance contract terms, or be remedied by the interpretation thereof in favour of the customer. Thus, the basic legal remedy which can be used by the customer in such case is to claim damages from the distributor. As a rule, distributors assume contractual liability based on the presumption of fault: in the case of brokers arising from brokerage contract, and in case of other distributors from obligations specified in the provisions of the Insurance Distribution Act. Insurers bear tortious non-fault liability for the activities of their dependent agents. Basically, clients may claim full damages according to the so called “difference theory”. In many cases however the damages will be restricted to the value of the overpaid insurance premium.

The article considers the definition of the insured, which is contained in the Law of Ukraine «On collection and accounting of a single contribution to compulsory state social insurance» and based on this it is concluded that it includes only the persons and the main obligation of the insured – payment of insurance premium and does not establish additional or qualifying features that the insured must have. Given that the social security insurance mechanism was borrowed from civil law, the author examined the definition of the insurer from the standpoint of civil law and concluded that the presence of insurance interest is a prerequisite for determining a person as an insured and proposed his own definition of insurance interest – a certain property interest related to the need to suffer material loss in connection with damage to life, health and ability to work of the insured person as a result of an accident or occupational disease that occurs during the performance or in connection with the performance of certain work in the interests of the insured. The author emphasizes that the insurers in the relationship of social insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases can be primarily employers. Based on the results of the analysis of the definition of the employer in various regulations, it was concluded that there is a certain inconsistency in science and legislation regarding this term, and therefore the legislative definition of the employer needs to be specified. This made it possible to develop proposals for making the necessary changes to certain regulations that contain this term. The concept and features of a single social contribution are researched. Peculiarities of insurance of persons performing works on the terms of civil law contracts are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the unresolved issue of the customer - an individual who uses the work of other individuals under a civil contract, but without registering them as a business entity. It is believed that such persons should also act as payers of the single social contribution, and therefore it is necessary to amend the Law of Ukraine «On the collection and accounting of the single contribution to the obligatory state social insurance».

Waqf insurance is a new breakthrough in the field of waqf and sharia insurance. This product collaborates between waqf and insurance products. The insurance waqf product is considered contrary to one of the insurance principles, namely the principle of insurable interest (Insurable Interest Principle). This principle states that the insured party (the insured / insurance participant) must have an interest in the object of insurance (life / object). This principle was born because everyone insures himself / his property because the person / property has the risk of being damaged / lost, whereas if someone chooses to have waqf or not, it does not actually pose any risk. This study uses an empirical approach in which an analysis of the Islamic waqf insurance contract is carried out and compares it with the basic principles of insurance. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts to deepen the study under study. The results of the study state that waqf insurance products in Sharia insurance can be used as part of insurance products by following the provisions of the DSN-MUI fatwa NO.106 / DSN-MUI / X / 2016 concerning Waqf Insurance Benefits and Investment Benefits in Sharia Insurance. By referring to this fatwa, the waqf insurance product has fulfilled the principle of insurable interest by stating that the maximum waqf that can be made on the insurance waqf product is 45%, while the other 55% is returned to the insurance participant or the beneficiary (if the insurance participant dies before the insurance contract is completed. ) as a form of risk mitigation and implementing the principle of insurable interest.

AbstractFifty years after the foundation of the European Communities, the single market for insurances has not yet become a reality. Despite the harmonization of insurance supervision law, insurance companies still essentially refrain from cross-border activity when it comes to small commercial and consumer risks. Since this finding is usually attributed to the lack of common rules on insurance contracts, this article sets out to lay the foundation for the harmonization of the corresponding national laws. By providing a comparative analysis of two of the most pervasive issues in consumer insurance contract law, the article proves that common law and civil law are not as far apart as commonly assumed. It thus refutes the widely held belief that the insurance contract laws of common law and civil law countries are too different to be harmonized.
