Abstract

In this article, Turner restricts his discussion of fraudulent insurance claims to acts involving the intentional deceit of insurers, specifically scuttling, barratry and arson, in relation to hull insurance policies. The author covers a range of decisions on the topic, both from the UK and Australia.
