Legal Issues of Directors' Liability Insurance
Legal Issues of Directors' Liability Insurance
Description
Book Introduction
The reasons why directors' and officers' liability insurance is not active in Korea are pointed out as follows: in addition to the aspect of corporate governance, the scope of coverage is narrow and there are many reasons for exemption from liability inherent in the insurance; and due to the nature of claims-made policies, the continuation of coverage through insurance contract renewal is not sufficiently guaranteed.
This is because the Korean terms and conditions were written with reference to the English terms and conditions of the United States, which are based on different corporate laws from Korea, and because these Korean terms and conditions and the English terms and conditions of the United States were used as is, it is related to unclear or unreasonable interpretation.
This book presents interpretation theories for unclear and unreasonable points in the interpretation of the terms and conditions regarding the notice clause, defense costs, and exemption from liability for illegal acts, which are prerequisites for insurance claims unique to claim-based insurance, and suggests improvements to the Korean terms and conditions.
