This unit looks at general legal principles, how the legal system works and legal personality - how the law applies to different types of natural persons and juristic persons. It considers the law of torts and examines civil wrongs such as negligence, trespass and nuisance. This is relevant to liability insurance because most claims under liability policies are based on tort. It also considers the law of contract. This is central to the business of insurance where an insurance policy is a contract in which insurers promise to pay claims. It then examines the law of agency which is often regarded as a branch of law of contract. This is important because the majority of insurance policies are sold through an agent of some type.

It then deals with the law of insurance contracts and the legal principles of insurable interest and utmost good faith. It looks the legal rules which govern the duties of the insured when they make a claim, how the loss is measured and how insurers may call upon others to share the loss.
