Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and representatives) Act 2012

Under this act it is the duty of the consumer to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation to the Insurer either before a Consumer Insurance Contract is entered into or varied.

For the purposes of this Act a qualifying misrepresentation is deliberate or reckless if the consumer:

Knew that it was untrue or misleading, or did not care whether or not it was true or misleading and knew that the matter to which the misrepresentation related was relevant to the Insurer, or did not care whether or not it was relevant to the Insurer.

Any such misrepresentation could invalidate your insurance cover and mean that part or all of any claim on the policy may not be paid.
