With regards to the tag asking for a more global view on the subjet, I fear this is an American-only subject. I do believe this is illegal in most jurisdictions.Oaktree b (talk) 17:47, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find anything saying it's illegal elsewhere, but it's frowned upon by several international regulators, as can be seen from the new links I added. Oaktree b (talk) 02:34, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I’m reviving this old discussion topic to note that this issue does not appear to be limited to the American insurance business.

I don’t understand the concepts well enough to adequately summarise them or assess their importance, but it appears that there are significant differences between American courts and those of other common-law jurisdictions as to who may be entitled to take out a life-insurance policy on a given person.

This US-published journal article compares US regulation in this area to developments in Australian and UK jurisprudence.

The broader legal doctrine is also discussed in this article I found on Austlii. Whether this apeciric article is a sufficiently reliable source is unclear, but Austlii is the largest and most widely-used database of legal information in Australia.

Any editor looking to add more international perspectives to the article here may find these sources to be useful starting points. Foxmilder (talk) 22:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
