The Fifth Edition of Sutton on Insurance Law makes a welcome return to the Thomson Reuters insurance practitioners' library in 2024. The work builds on the authority and reputation of earlier editions while covering Australian developments in legislation, regulation and case law since the last edition was published in 2014.
As with previous editions, the text contains discussion of the most important English and Australian cases, thereby emphasising that the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth) is far from a comprehensive code and that many issues of principle as well as of interpretation remain firmly within the province of the common law.
