Topic: Complete both questions in this assignment. The first question requires you to read and analyse and respond to the question asked. The second question requires you to read, research and write an appropriate response to the question asked.
Tom has insurance cover over his architecturally designed house in the Qld Hinterland. As Tom is particularly sensitive to the risks of fire he decides to take out two separate policies of cover from two different insurers to fully protect his investment in the house. The policies provide cover against the risk of destruction by ‘fire or extreme weather event’. Tom fails to disclose either policy to the other insurer. Tom also fails to disclose to either insurer some construction engineering modifications to the house.
A freak storm destroys Tom’s house within six (6) months of the commencement of the policies. Days before the storm Tom undertook extensive excavation works on his land that was directly adjacent to the house. This excavation work reflected Tom’s very recent plan to construct a swimming pool next to his house. It was the coincidence of the excavation works and the storm that led to the destruction of the house.
Required:
1. Identify the legal issues arising. Where relevant you should justify and support your answers with reference to statute and/or case law. (20 marks)
2. Treat this question as separate from the above and answer this question as a research essay question. Explain the ‘duty of good faith’ in the context of insurance law. (15 marks)
