»English Life Insurance Law as a Model for German Life Insurance Law. Lines of Development of the Self-Created Law of English and German Life Insurers in the 18th and 19th Centuries«: Through their presence in continental European insurance markets in the 19th century, English insurers are said to have shaped the development of insurance practice and insurance law on the continent. However, there is a lack of detailed analysis of this supposed formative influence. Thomas Heuermann sheds light on this influence on life insurance law in Germany and links the legal development with the actuarial progress.
