Principles of European Insurance Contract Law - (PEICL)

In this volume the Project Group 'Restatement of European Insurance Contract Law' presents its Principles of European Insurance Contract Law ('PEICL'). These principles were submitted to the European Commission as a Draft Common Frame of Reference of European Insurance Contract Law ('DCFR Insurance').
The volume comprises the PEICL/DCFR Insurance as well as translations into Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish. A short introduction sets out the approach used by the Project Group, how the PEICL/DCFR Insurance relate to the overall Draft Common Frame of Reference, the participation of the Project Group in the CoPECL (Common Principles of European Contract Law) Network, as well as the general structure and characteristics of the PEICL/DCFR Insurance.
The Project Group has also drafted the PEICL/DCFR Insurance as a model for an Optional Instrument of European Insurance Contract Law.
