Description: "Insurance policies written on the Bermuda Form have a distinctly international flavour. The policyholder and the insurers are often based in different countries. The policy includes an express choice of New York law (with certain modifications), and invariably provides for disputes to be settled by arbitration, usually in England, sometimes in Bermuda."--P. [29].
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [347]-350) and index.
