• Insurance Market Dynamics: Between Global Developments and Local Contingencies

Insurance markets have changed radically and deeply in the last 20 years. Deregulation, globalization of insurance institutions, intensified competition, electronic commerce, bancassurance, and the emergence of new risks are among the challenges faced by insurance markets. These developing trends pose both global and local challenges for insurance firms. The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of globalization on international insurance markets. The focus is to highlight the global similarities of national insurance markets and the local contingencies that create differences among markets.

• Court Decisions

Insurance-related court cases and decisions are presented. In the case of John Hancock Property and Casualty Insurance Co vs. David Scannell, the Appeals Court of Massachusetts acknowledged there are circumstances in which it is possible to have a residence in more than one place at the same time. However, the court found that Scannell's circumstances did not support such a finding. The court concluded that Scannell, having established a residence elsewhere, was no longer responsible for the home and family, and that his son, David C., was not a "household member" under the policy. In the case of Allstate Insurance Co vs. Burns, the Court of Appeals of Indiana found that the facts supported a finding that the truck was indeed in "dead storage." The court concluded that the trial court p...
