It outlines the requirements for a valid insurance contract, including the principles of utmost good faith, insurable interest, and indemnity. It also covers issues such as policy terms and conditions, exclusions, premiums, and claims handling.

  2. Insurance Regulation: Insurance is typically regulated by government bodies or agencies that oversee the insurance industry. These regulations ensure that insurance companies operate in a fair and responsible manner, protect policyholders' interests, and maintain financial stability.

  4. Subrogation: Subrogation is a principle in insurance law that allows an insurer who has paid a claim to step into the shoes of the insured and seek recovery from third parties who may be responsible for the loss or damage. This principle helps prevent the insured from receiving double compensation and allows insurers to recover their expenses.

  5. Insurance Disputes and Litigation: Insurance law covers disputes between policyholders and insurers, such as claim denials, coverage disputes, and interpretation of policy terms. It also addresses legal remedies available to parties involved in insurance disputes, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation in court.

Insurers are required to maintain adequate financial reserves, comply with solvency and capital adequacy requirements, and provide prompt and fair claims settlement. The IRA monitors insurers' compliance with these requirements.
