Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) announces the release of the Second Edition of Courts’ Judgments on Insurance and Related Cases in Nigerian Courts – Aide-Mémoire for Members (Volume 2), a comprehensive legal reference designed to strengthen insurance education, professional practice and the understanding of insurance jurisprudence in Nigeria, primarily developed for its members but useful for non-members alike.
The publication is a carefully curated compilation of landmark judgments from the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, Federal High Court, National Industrial Court of Nigeria and State High Courts. The book provides readers with a structured and practical guide to judicial decisions that have shaped insurance law and practice in Nigeria.
Containing over sixty significant insurance and related cases, the publication examines key legal principles covering policy interpretation, contractual obligations, claims settlement, regulatory compliance, marine insurance, life and non-life insurance, employment-related insurance disputes, and other issues that continue to influence the Nigerian insurance landscape.
Speaking on the significance of the publication, the Registrar/CEO of Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria stated that the Institute remains committed to advancing insurance knowledge and promoting professional excellence through the development of quality educational resources.
According to the Registrar, Mrs. Abimbola Tiamiyu, PhD, the publication reflects the dedication of the Institute to equipping insurance practitioners and students with authoritative reference materials that bridge the gap between legal principles and insurance practice in Nigeria.
Beyond serving as a study companion for candidates preparing for the Institute’s professional examinations, the book provides valuable insights into the evolution of insurance law in Nigeria and reinforces the fundamental principle of utmost good faith (uberrima fides), which remains one of the foundational principles of every insurance contract.
The publication also demonstrates the continued investment of the Institute in knowledge development, professional capacity building and the promotion of best practices within the insurance industry.
The Second Edition of Courts’ Judgments on Insurance and Related Cases in Nigerian Courts – Aide-Mémoire for Members (Volume 2) is now available to the public at no financial cost from Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria and is recommended for insurance practitioners, researchers and students seeking a reference on insurance jurisprudence in Nigeria, apart from its members.
