| dc.description.abstract | The law of insurance is based on the principle of utmost good faith which requires the contracting party to make full and true disclosure of any material facts and also ensure that the representations made are true. In this research i also compared the duty of utmost good faith in Uganda and its application in other jurisdictions to identify gaps in the insurance laws of Uganda and propose amendments. on the other side, a Warranty means a promissory Warranty namely a Warranty by which the insured undertakes that some particular thing shall or shall not be done, or that some condition shall be full-filled, or b y which he or she affirms or negatives the existence of a particular state of facts as per Section 33(1) of the Marine Insurance Act 2002. Where the Warranty is not complied with, the insurer is automatically discharged from liability as per Section 33(3) of the Marine Insurance Act 2002. Thus, this research analyses the law relating to Warranties in Uganda, compares it with other jurisdictions and proposes the need for reforms. | |
