A contract under which the insurer agrees to compensate the insured party for losses specified in the contract (e.g. theft, freight loss). Insurance is a form of risk management, as risk is transferred from one organisation to another in exchange for payment, i.e. the insurance premium. When seeking to insure against loss, the buyer has a duty of ‘utmost good faith’ to advise the insurer of all relevant facts so that the insurer can reach a balanced judgement on the risk involved. See also Risk.
