"Insurance claims are the reason for the existence of the insurance industry. In this comprehensive work, authors Paul Michalik and Chris Boys put claims at the heart of their analysis of insurance law in New Zealand. Insurance Claims in New Zealand is a rigorous and complete presentation of the law relating to how insurance claims are made and assessed in New Zealand.
