Fair Representation of the Risk

The information provided here must make a fair presentation of the risk, in accordance with Section 3 of the Insurance Act 2015.
To Summarise, you must:
a) Tell us about every material circumstance which you know or ought to know. Failing that, you must give us sufficient information to make us aware that we need to make further enquiries in order to reveal material circumstances. Information is material if it would influence the judgement of a prudent insurer as to whether to accept the risk, or the terms of the insurance (including premium);
b) Disclose information in a reasonably clear and accessible way; and
c) Ensure that every material representation of fact is substantially correct, and that every material representation of expectation or belief is made in good faith.

For the purposes of the above, you are expected to know the following:
a) If you are an individual, what is known to the individual and anybody who is responsible for arranging his or her insurance.
b) If you are not an individual, what is known to anybody who is part of your senior management; or anybody who is responsible for arranging your insurance.
c) Whether you are an individual or not, what should reasonably have been revealed by a reasonable search of information available to you. The information may be held within your organisation, or by any third party (including but not limited to subsidiaries, affiliates, the broker, or any other person who will be covered under the insurance). If you are insuring subsidiaries, affiliates or other parties, we expect that the Insured will have included them in its enquiries, and that you will inform us if you have not done so. The reasonable search may be conducted by making enquiries or by any other means.


Completion of this form is required by us as part of your duty of fair presentation.

Insurers may cancel cover and/or refuse to pay any claims if the facts provided in this form are incorrect.
