An Appeal court judge has called for wide-ranging changes to current insurance law, including advocating a new insurance contracts act to reform insurance law as a whole.

Lord Justice Longmore said: “The time has come when, in my view, both the law and the market should adopt sensible reforms across the board.”

Longmore suggested a number of areas which he said the Law Commission needed to examine.

He was speaking at the British Insurance Law Association conference.
