Aplikace fuzzy logiky v pojišťovnictví / The Application of Fuzzy Logic in Insurance BusinessSedlák, Martin January 2014 (has links)
The dissertation looks into the problematic of evaluaing the customer's solvency. It specifically focuses on using the Fuzzy logic when calculating the correct value of the third party insurance, as it is a legal requirment by law in the Czech republic, applying to every motor vehical in use. The first part of the dissertation analyses existing calculation system. As there doesn't exist any unifed fiugre table, an indicative price list has been created by using accessible sources. This price list helped to optimalize variable quantity when inventing own model to be put in practice. Suggested solutions have been made by using the MS Excel and MATLAB programs. Newly created models consist of some parameters which havn't been used for the calculations yet, but can help achieve higher objectivity when assessing the insurance figure. The dissertation aims to prove that similar problematics could be successfully solved by applying the Fuzzy logic technic.

Selected legal aspects of liability insuranceJacobs, Wenette 01 1900 (has links)
Liability insurance concerns an insured’s insurance of its legal liability towards a third party for the latter’s loss. This specialised type of insurance is rather neglected in South African insurance law. There is a lack of understanding of the intricacies of liability insurance and its unique challenges. This flows primarily from its complex nature as third-party insurance, which involves legal obligations between multiple parties, and a lack of statutory regulation of the distinctive contractual aspects of liability insurance. Furthermore, limited authority exists on contentious legal aspects as a result of the relatively small number of judicial decisions in this field of law.
It is also evident that liability insurance constantly evolves as new grounds of liability emerge and new insurance products develop in response to the changing demands of society. The rise of consumerism and the increase in third-party claims amplify the economic significance of the law of liability insurance in South Africa. A substantial knowledge gap remains in our jurisprudence, irrespective of the recent introduction of new statutory instruments aimed at regulating insurance practice in general. These reforms have not as yet been applied critically to liability insurance, and no specialised legislation in South Africa regulates aspects of this branch of insurance as is the case with microinsurance.
The focus in this thesis is on two main issues: the insurer’s duty effectively to indemnify the insured, and the insurer’s defence and settlement of third-party claims brought against the insured. As a subsidiary theme, this thesis analyses legal uncertainties that may persist during pre-contractual negotiations, the liability insurance contract lifecycle, and even after the expiry of the contract. Legal challenges can be addressed by novel and creative application of the national law. Potential solutions can be gleaned from the other progressive jurisdictions reviewed – English and Belgian law. It is evident that this research may prompt Parliament to develop specific rules and regulations for liability insurance contract law. This thesis includes a check list of some of the most important disclosure duties for procuring liability insurance cover, its operation, and claims processes. / Mercantile Law / LL.D.

Insurance against damage caused by pollutionKuschke, Birgit 28 February 2009 (has links)
Universally complications exist concerning insurance cover for the risks posed
by pollution damage. Environmental insurance cover can be procured under
first-party or third-party insurance. For the latter, the polluter's statutory or civil
liability is required. The determination of liability for compensation, especially
delictual liability, remains problematic.
The right to the environment in section 24 of the Constitution creates a
general duty of care. The introduction of a strict liability regime can be
recommended to alleviate the burden of proving fault and contributory
negligence. Where there is multiple or cumulative causation or the exact
identity of the polluter is unknown, potential solutions regarding the allocation
of liability include a pollution-share, joint and several, market-share or, as a
last resort, a proportional allocation. Actionable damages should include
property damage, pure economic loss, clean-up costs and natural resource
damages, including compensation for reduced aesthetic value.
Due to the uncertainty and potential magnitude of pollution-related claims,
insurers have attempted to avoid or limit these risks by including specific
pollution exclusion and limitation clauses in policies. Statutory regulation of
policy content and prescribed wording for clauses could address problems
relating to the interpretation of policy provisions.
Various other issues such as the coverage of gradual pollution, the effect of
the various triggers of coverage and the potential long-tail liability of insurer,
the lack of information and the unpredictability of the risk cause further
complications for both the insured and the insurer. Policies should preferably
be issued on a `claims-made' basis linked to retroactive dates. Mandatory
third-party insurance to the benefit of a third party should be required within
specific high-risk industries, specifically for the benefit of the prejudiced
person or an environmental remediation fund. The right of a prejudiced party
to claim directly from the polluter's liability insurer should be introduced.
Currently, the focus appears to be more on protection and environmental
remediation than on civil compensation. There is an urgent need for the
development of statutory and civil liability compensation mechanisms and for
an increased regulation of insurance policies and practices to ensure effective
insurance cover to provide compensation for environmental damage. / Jurisprudence / LL.D.
