“How the law explains terms for life insurance and reinsurance”

When you read about life insurance in this law, you need to know that sections EY 8 to EY 11 explain what different words mean for life insurance. Sections EY 12 and EY 13 do the same thing, but for life reinsurance.

In this law, when you see words that are explained in sections EY 8 to EY 11, they also mean the same thing for life reinsurance, which is explained in sections EY 12 and EY 13. For example, when the law talks about a “life insurer”, it also means a “life reinsurer”, unless the law says something different for that specific situation.
