Homework

Insurance Contract Law Reform
Look at the material on New Zealand's Insurance Contract Review. Imagine that you would like to present your ideas during the public consultation process. What issues do you think should be considered in the law reform? What issues are the most important? It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about New Zealand law, think about how your European perspective could benefit the process. Next week you will have time to collaborate with your colleagues before presenting your ideas to the group.
