»English and French Fire Insurance Contract Standard Terms before 1900. Similarities - Differences - Influences« It is often said that there was an influence between english and french fire insurance. Taking a closer look though one realizes that this thesis is not founded on evidence, but rather based on mere assumptions by numerous authors. Florian Siegwart examines common lines of development in both countries through a detailed study of authentic insurance contract standard terms from the late 17th to the end of the 19th century and their contextualization with the principles of modern european insurance law to prove the claimed influence.
