»English Life Insurance Law as a Model for German Life Insurance Law. Lines of Development of the Self-Created Law of English and German Life Insurers in the 18th and 19th Centuries«: Through their presence in continental European insurance markets in the 19th century, English insurers are said to have shaped the development of insurance practice and insurance law on the continent.
