Versicherungsvertragsgesetz

The standard work on the revised law

On January 1, 2022, the partial revision of the Insurance Contract Act (VVG) came into effect. This work offers the first comprehensive commentary in German and completes the VVG commentary with various general systematic sections on private insurance law.

The convoluted path of the now-concluded revision efforts is legendary. The new form of insurance contract law is the result of persistent struggle and many compromises, as well as the pursuit of a balance between economic and consumer interests. This work competently and neutrally guides readers through all changes and remains a beacon for established principles.

• Comments on the revised Insurance Contract Act
• Includes seven preliminary general systematic sections on private insurance law
• Renowned editors and more than 40 authors from academia and practice guarantee the quality of the work as recognized specialists.
