............................................................................................................................ Description Written in a lucid and readable style, “Principles of Insurance Law” by M.N. Srinivasan, is rich in information of both the statutory and the decisional law. Without a comprehensive analysis of the case law on the subject, no book claim to impart knowledge of the living law or the law as practiced in society. The book has succeeded to a great extent in capturing the essence of a series of judicial interpretations not only of India but of a number of common law jurisdictions around the world. The reader can get a good understanding of the principles as well as the trends and pattern of development of Insurance Law from the book. ............................................................................................................................
