Inspection of records by reinsurers

Practice notes

This Practice Note considers inspections of records in the context of reinsurance. It considers the scope of a reinsurer's rights of inspection and the purposes for which inspections are undertaken. It also considers questions of privilege and risks, such as waiving defences by exercising contractual inspection rights. This Practice Note also provides practical guidance in relation to inspections, from the perspectives of both cedant and reinsurer.
