Coverage, Warranties, Concealment, Disclosure, Exclusions, Misrepresentations, and Bad Faith

The title of this Paper, Coverage, Warranties, Concealment, Disclosure, Exclusions, Misrepresentations, and Bad Faith, sounds like a catalogue of the Seven Deadly Sins or something out of a Cold War spy novel. To those in the insurance industry and its supporting legal services these simple words spell “trouble.” Before looking at what form this trouble takes and what it means in the United Kingdom and the United States, some historical background is appropriate.
