INSURANCE COMPANIES

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: If I am not sure if an insurance business-related activity needs authorisation from the Commission can I ask you for advice?

Certain forms of insurance business are regulated under the provisions of the Insurance Business (Jersey) Law 1996. Commission staff will be happy to provide general explanations of what activities that law covers. However, Commission staff cannot provide legal advice in respect of specific circumstances and if you are in any doubt as to the position you should seek advice from a lawyer qualified in Jersey law.
