Your Duty of Disclosure
Before you enter into a contract of General Insurance with an insurer, you have a duty at law to disclose to the insurer anything
That you could reasonably be expected to know which is relevant to the insurer's decision whether to accept the risk of insurance
and if so, on what terms.
You have the same duty to disclose those matters to the insurer before you renew, extend, vary or reinstate a contract of general insurance.
Your duty however does not require disclosure of matter:
-
that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the insurer;
-
that is of common knowledge;
-
that your insurer knows or, in the ordinary course of business, ought to know;
-
as to which compliance with your duty is waived by the insurer.
If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure, the insurer may be entitled to reduce its liability under the contract in respect of a claim
or may cancel the contract.
If your non-disclosure is fraudulent, the insure may also have the option of avoiding the contract from its beginning.
