This book is the first of its kind in bringing together a detailed but highly readable analysis of all aspects of the UK regime, as well as certain international factors. It explains to the layperson what kind of business may be transferred, and when, as well as the regulatory and court procedures. It provides practical tips on planning and implementing a transfer, and a thorough consideration of which jurisdictions (both within the EEA and outside) will "recognize" the transfer, and which may not, and why. Finally, it contains a chapter dedicated to the role of the independent expert and the factors involved in preparing a report. It is written by an actuary, an accountant and a lawyer, all with in-depth experience of the UK insurance business transfer regime. It also contains contributions from US and Bermudian lawyers on the subject of recognition in those countries. It is primarily targeted at participants in the runoff sector as well as live companies that may be considering insurance business transfers either for their live business or as part of their runoff strategy for discontinued lines.
