Abstract

This article is about some of the issues relating to life insurance based on relevant provisions of the 1960 Commercial Code and other laws of Ethiopia that are currently in force. The article first discusses the basic concepts of insurance. It then focuses on a problem attributable to the practice of the Ethiopian Insurance Corporation and five legal issues relating to life insurance. It also includes an analysis of court cases. However, due to the lack of recent Ethiopian court cases relating to life insurance, it only analyses cases from the 1970s. The article concludes with recommendations on all the issues discussed.
