LEGAL LIABILITY FOR WAR DAMAGE

This article considers some of the rules for determining liability for economic loss in respect of war claims, especially as applied in connection with claims of life insurance companies for loss of premiums, of insurers of property for war risk insurance premiums, of property insurers for sums paid to foreign policyholders on war losses, and of owners seeking to recover for loss of expected profits. The rules discussed are broadly applicable to international claims in general.
