Description
The author of this reviewer on the Law of Insurance [Insurance Code (R.A. No. 10607) and Pre-Need Code (R.A. No 9829)], Deputy Commissioner Erickson H. Balmes of the Insurance Commission and a former Undersecretary, Department of Justice, has ensured this by complying with all that are desirable in a reviewer. This book is the first reviewer of its kind. The contents have been culled from the lessons and lectures prepared by him as a Professor of Law for the past 18 years; as a Bar Review and MCLE lecturer; and as a member of the UP Law Center Committee on the Suggested Answers to the Bar Examinations in Commercial Law.
From the Table of Contents, it can be readily recognized that the book follows the topical framework of both codes. To make it easy for a reviewee to comprehend the specific codal provisions, the concepts and the doctrines, the author has presented them in a question-and-answer format. There are more than 500 of them.
Another important feature of the book is the Take Note. Through it, a reader’s attention is being called to the fact that they refer to relevant and significant case doctrines emanating from Supreme Court decisions from 1941 up to 2021. The cases and materials have been judiciously selected on the basis of their significant contribution to Philippine jurisprudence, especially those cases of first impression. The author also took into account their effect influence and impact on the Philippine Insurance Industry as a whole.
