Your Duty Of Disclosure Life Cover


Before You enter into a contract of life insurance with the insurer, You have a duty under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984, to disclose to the insurer every matter that You know, or could reasonably be expected to know, that may be relevant to the insurers decision whether to accept the risk of insurance and, if so, on what terms.

Your duty however, does not require disclosure of a matter: that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the insurer; that is of common knowledge; that the insurer knows or, in the ordinary course of its business, ought to know; or the disclosure of which is waived by the insurer. The duty of disclosure applies even after Your application for cover is completed until the insurers acceptance of insurance is issued in writing.

Non Disclosure Life Cover


If You fail to comply with Your duty of disclosure and the insurer would not have entered into the contract on any terms if the failure had not occurred, the insurer may avoid the contract within three years of entering into it. If Your nondisclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may avoid the contract at any time. An insurer who is entitled to avoid a contract of life insurance may, within three years of entering into it, elect not to avoid it but to reduce the sum that You have been insured for in accordance with a formula that takes into account the premium that would have been payable if You had disclosed all relevant matters to the insurer. All questions on this Application are relevant as to whether or not the insurer accepts the risk and, if so, on what terms.
