Book excerpt: "A practical treatise on the law governing life insurance, this edition is a sequel to the 2nd edition published in 1993, covering life and disability insurance law in all 10 provinces, including the civil law of Quebec. The book promotes a basic understanding of the features of life insurance that make life insurance law so different in common-law and civil law, as well as judicial interpretation of the model Uniform Life Insurance Act and Quebec Civil Code. Previous editions of this work have been cited as an authority in more than 130 Canadian cases. Includes specimen policies, documents and tables."--Pub. desc.
