US legal system - implications for UK insurers

Document description

UK insurers can be exposed to the US legal system in a number of ways - by directly insuring US businesses or US ventures by European companies, or via reinsurance. This workshop paper will attempt to set out the basic structure of the US legal system, discuss idiosyncratic parts of the system, and present examples of how these can affect insurers. Our workshop presentation will assume knowledge provided in this paper and concentrate on examples.
