The First Edition, published in 2018, has established itself as the leading reference of insurance law to Malaysian practitioners and students, regulators, supervisory authorities, and insurance industry professionals, providing a comprehensive resource catering to the required knowledge of insurance law.

The text explains the history of insurance practices and sources of insurance law in Malaysia, and essentially discusses the crucial principles and concepts central to insurance law, such as insurable interest, the principles to form an insurance contract, warranties in insurance contracts, and the doctrine of misrepresentation and non-disclosure in insurance and takaful contracts. The discussions further explore the principle of indemnity, subrogation and contribution, doctrine of proximate cause in insurance, claims, agents and brokers, and the legal and regulatory framework of insurance practices in Malaysia.

This updated Second Edition highlights the key cases that have emerged since the release of the First Edition, particularly in the areas encompassing the principle of insurable interest and utmost good faith. The text is reviewed and revised by two new authors, both of whom are eminent legal scholars and insurance law researchers. Two additional chapters discussing the intermediaries of insurance business and regulation of insurance entities are introduced in this edition.
