PhD Thesis

Senara’s doctoral research focuses on Reinsurance Law. More specifically, she is interested in analysing the balance of interests between the reinsurer and reassured, particularly following the implementation of the Insurance Act 2015 which is aimed at redressing the imbalance of interests between the insurer and assured, and yet which applies equally to reinsurance contracts. She focuses particularly on the impact of s.13A on reinsurers’ liability in back-to-back reinsurance contracts and the aggregation and allocation of losses in complex reinsurance programmes.
