Legal certainty. It is difficult to provide legal certainty in a system which is directed by economics because the focus must be on how every individual agreement is likely to affect the market. To obtain legal certainty, a simplification of the hard individual assessment must be found which stands close to economic reality but which is both easy to apply and efficient. By simplification undertakings feel at ease in complying with the competition rules by adhering to predictable per-se rules. Without efficiency the system becomes paralysed and unable to provide legal certainty, as the old European one. The new Block Exemption is favourable for legal certainty in many aspects. Firstly, it contains fewer clauses to comply with to obtain the exemption. Thus it should be easier to apply for business. Secondly, it is considerablly wider in scope than the old Block Exemptions which allows a greater number of agreements to benefit from the legal certainty that the Block Exemption provides. The wide Block Exemption in combination with the abolishment of compulsory notification also brings down notification to the effect of enhanced efficiency and legal certainty. Another aspect which is important for efficiency is that the Commission grants individual exemptions without delay when an agreement is challenged in national court. Otherwise, the incentive to use the competition procedure for reasons other than competition concerns, for example to delay agreements, will remain. Moreover, undertakings will not regard ex-post exemption as an alternative, but will continue to overnotify their agreements in order to avoid challenge in national courts. To avoid these bad effects that threaten legal certainty, there should be a clear time limit within which the Commission must act when an agreement is challenged in national court. Presently, there is no such time limit. For the new system to provide legal certainty, it is essential that businesses feel secure in the assessment of their agreements both in terms of complying with the Block Exemption and in individual assessment. Without this certainty, undertakings might refrain from concluding agreements from fear of non-compliance with the competition rules, or continue to notify all agreements to the Commission which causes the new system to suffers from the same efficiency problems as the old one did. Unfortunately, the Block Exemption as well as the Guidelines have been criticised for being too complex and difficult to apply. To start with...

  • Duty of Fair Representation You must be sure that the information you have given to us to pass on to the insurers is a “fair presentation” of the risk. This means that you must have clearly disclosed every material circumstance which you, your senior management, or persons responsible for arranging your insurance knows or ought to know following a reasonable search. A material circumstance is one which may influence an insurers’ judgement over whether to take the risk, and if so on what terms. If you are in doubt as to whether a circumstance is material then you should disclose it. Furthermore, you must inform us if any of the information provided to us has changed. If it has, then you must tell us about the changes before we arrange cover. Your duty to notify material changes in the risk applies when you purchase an insurance policy, throughout the life of the policy and when you renew that policy. Please note that failure to disclose a material circumstance may entitle an insurer to impose different terms on your cover or reduce the amount of a claim payable. In some cases your cover could be invalidated, which would mean that a claim would not be paid.
