ResumenPese a su ubicuidad en la práctica contractual, las cláusulas de franquicia han recibido tratamiento incidental en la doctrina. La discusión sobre ellas se ha enfocado en los contratos de seguros de responsabilidad civil, y en la interpretación del artículo 76 de la Ley española de Contrato de Seguro. En este contexto se ha tratado de establecer si el asegurador puede o no oponer la cláusula de franquicia al tercero perjudicado. El presente trabajo analiza la cláusula de franquicia en la obligación principal del asegurador, su naturaleza jurídica, y examina su relación con los terceros perjudicados. La consideración principal a este respecto estará en si nos encontramos ante un seguro obligatorio o ante un seguro voluntario de responsabilidad civil. Palabras clave: Contrato de seguro; Cláusula de franquicia; Terceroperjudicado; Responsabilidad civil.AbstractDespite their ubiquity in contractual praxis, deductible clauses have received only incidental treatment in legal doctrine. Discussion on them has focused on civil liability insurance contracts, and the interpretation of article 76 of the Spanish Law of Insurance Contracts. In this context it has been attempted to establish whether the insurer can invoke the clause to oppose the injured third party's claim. This article examines the deductible clause included in the insurer's main obligation, its legal nature, and its relation to injured third parties. The main consideration in this regard will be whether the insurance contract is of a mandatory or voluntary nature.Keywords: Insurance contract; Deductible clause; Injured third party; Civil liability.

Regulations in force since 2012. defining the rules and procedure for determining compensation and redress in the case of medical events raised many doubts about the legal nature of the insurance contract for these events (compulsory or voluntary insurance, accident insurance or third party liability insurance) and the liability of medical entities. In practice, the doubts concerned the additional burden on hospitals to pay the insurance premium, and in the absence of insurance or exhaustion of the sum insured – the need to satisfy the claims of the applicant. A huge number of practical and legal doubts caused the amendment of the applicable provisions.

In this article Egorova analyzes questions that relate to the process of appointment of participants in a judicial process resulting from third party liability insurance contract made by vehicle owners who may act as an obligator on the side of the defendant. The importance of apointing a proper defendant is caused by the fact that these are unique cases that require a different court procedure, thus, the relationship between parties that existed prior the trial may significantly affect the final decision of the court. The research is based on theoretical and comparative analysis of the provisions of the Federal Law No. 40 of April 25, 2002 'Concerning Compulsory Civil Insurance of Owners of Means of Transport' that set forth several ways of compensation of harm as a result of road traffic incident, each way has its own proper defendant. The results of the theoretical analysis allow to describe a range of potential proper defendants nunder third party liability insurance contract. This proves the importance of the issue raised by the author of the article. The practical importance of the research is proved by the author through analyzing procedural competences of court and what defendants may be involved in the dispute.

The article aims at considering the general rules for the assessment of customer needs and requirements as well as presenting the reasons for the introduction of this obligation and showing the differences between the above-mentioned legal concepts. Furthermore, the author examines the necessity to recognize the customer needs and requirements in the civil liability insurance. She emphasizes that, due to the nature of the civil liability insurance, it is a fundamental need of the liability insurance customer to conclude an insurance contract with the insurance cover as comprehensive as possible. In contrast to other types of insurance, in the case of which the claims settlement or the amount of compensation are also important, in liability insurance customers want to obtain a guarantee that in the event of an injury to a third party they will not be obliged to compensate it personally. This obligation will be ‘taken over’ by the insurer, with whom the liability insurance contract has been signed. It is the policyholder (the insured) and not the injured who is the liability insurance customer, whose needs and requirements are analyzed.

One of the elements used in the process of tariff calculation of premiums in motor liability insurance is a bonus‑malus system. This systems takes into account the “claims ratio” by means of increases and discounts of the base premium called net premium rates. The aim of this work is to propose an estimation method of the net premium rates in the bonus‑malus classes of the motor third‑party liability insurance portfolio of individuals. The Bühlmann‑Straub model was used for the premium estimation. In order to improve the credibility of the estimated premium rates, a data correction in the classes with premium increase was preformed. An example of the application of the new method is presented based on the data obtained from one of the insurance companies operating on the Polish market, which has reserved the right to stay anonymous.

Insurance of life in favor of third parties is more important than the insurance of life in case of death. Moreover, in some rights this type of insurance can be contracted only in the event of the death of the insured person. There are no such restrictions in our insurance law, which means that the same can be agreed in case the isured person reaches a certain age. With this type of insurance, the insured event can be realized on the person of the insurance policyholders or on some other person. The insured person can therefore be the insurance contractor himself and it can also be another person. Considering that in this type of insurance, upon the occurrence of the insured event, the payment of the insured amount is always made to a certain third party beneficiary and that the insurance contract mentions several persons with different legal status, the insurance contract must clearly define the issues such as clear determination of the beneficiary insurance, what happens if the insurance beneficiary dies before the insured person, or the contractor assures, whether it is necessary for the insurance beneficiary to give his consent to be paid compensation, whether and until when the insurance policyholder can revoke the benefit he has contracted for a third party-beneficiary of the insured, etc. All these issues are mainly regulated by legal provisions, but of particular importance are General Conditions of life insurance of life insurance companies, as the above issues are clearly defined on the basis of experiences that have proven to be open in practice.

Titles in the Core Text series take the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing focused, concise, and reliable guides for students at all levels. This chapter examines derivative action as a means of safeguarding minority shareholders against abuses of power and its implications for the principle of majority rule. It begins by analysing the rule in Foss v Harbottle (1843), which translates the doctrine of separate legal personality, the statutory contract, the ‘internal management principle’, and the principle of majority rule into a rule of procedure governing locus standi (that is, who has standing to sue), as well as the exceptions to that rule. It then considers various types of shareholder actions, including personal claims, representative actions (group litigation), and derivative claims. It also discusses derivative claims under the Companies Act 2006, with emphasis on the two-stage process of the application for permission to continue a derivative claim. The chapter concludes by assessing bars to a derivative action, together with liability insurance and qualifying third party indemnity provisions.
