Principles of Reinsurance Contract Law (PRICL)

On 25 January 2023, the special ATILA Lecture on the Principles of Reinsurance Contract Law (PRICL) was showcased in a hybrid seminar, co-organised by the PRICL Project, European Law Institute and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT), which hosted the event at its headquarters in Rome. 

The recording of the lecture is available here.

COVID-19 has caused a whole variety of reinsurance arbitration. In these proceedings, the PRICL are considered even though they are not applicable to the underlying contracts.
