This episode delves into double insurance and the principle of contribution, key concepts in UK insurance law for managing overlapping coverage. Drawing on insights from the Insurance Law Handbook, we explain how double insurance occurs when a policyholder holds multiple policies covering the same risk and examine the legal implications. We also discuss the contribution mechanism, which ensures that liability is fairly distributed among insurers when a claim is made. Through practical examples and case law, this episode highlights how insurers determine contributions, the avoidance of unjust enrichment, and best practices for policyholders to prevent unintended overlaps in coverage.
