PART II - LICENSING OF INSURER, INSURANCE BROKER AND ADJUSTER



Section 4. Classification of insurance business.


(1) For the purposes of this Act, insurance business shall be divided into two classes-

(2) For the purposes of this Act, reinsurance of liabilities under a policy is treated as insurance business of the class and description to which the policy would have belonged if it had been issued by the reinsurer.

(3) Notwithstanding subsections (1) and 39(2), if the Bank is satisfied that any part of a licensed insurer's business which belongs to a particular class or description of insurance business, in the licensed insurer's case ought to be treated as belonging to another class or description, the Bank may direct that it be so treated.
