Part II: The duty of the utmost good faith – Australia Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth)

Australia Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth) s13-2A-14A: ss 13(2A) and 14A Insurer: do not fail the utmost good faith duty, especially in handling and settling claims

An insurer contravenes a civil penalty provision (5,000 penalty units as specified) if it fails to act with the utmost good faith towards the insured. Where an insurer fails the duty in handling or settling a claim or potential claim, ASIC may vary, suspend or cancel its Australian financial services licence or ban people as if it had breached a financial services law (s 14A). Claims handling and settling is itself a financial service requiring licensing under the Corporations Act.
