An appraisal of the recommendations of the law development commission on misrepresentation in insurance law

Abstract

The Law Development Commission of Zimbabwe,* 1 whose terms of reference were to investigate the application of the duty of disclosure and warranties in insurance law, concluded that the law obtaining to warranties was unsatisfactory. This finding was not surprising. What was disconcerting, however, was the recommendation that Zimbabwe adopt as a model for reform, the South African amendment.
