Duty of Disclosure (Insurance Contracts Act 1984)
Your Duty of Disclosure
Before you enter into a contract of life insurance with an insurer, you have a duty, under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984, to disclose to the insurer every matter that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, that is relevant to the insurer’s decision whether to accept the risk of the insurance and, if so, on what terms.
You have the same duty to disclose those matters to the insurer before you vary or reinstate a contract of life insurance.
Your duty, however, does not require disclosure of a matter:  that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the insurer;  that your insurer knows or, in the ordinary course of the insurer’s business as an insurer, ought to know; OR  where which compliance with your duty is waived by the insurer.
Non-disclosure
If you fail to comply with your Duty of Disclosure and the insurer would not have entered into the contract on any terms if the failure had not occurred, the insurer may avoid the contract within three years of entering into it. If your non-disclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may avoid the contract at any time.
An insurer who is entitled to avoid a contract of life insurance may, within three years of entering into it, elect not to avoid it but to reduce the sum that you have been insured for in accordance with a formula that takes into account the premium that would have been payable if you had disclosed all relevant matters to the insurer.
Please note: Your Duty of Disclosure continues until a policy has been issued.
