Lloyd's Act
The Lloyd's Act refers to a series of legislative measures in the United Kingdom that govern the operations of Lloyd's of London, a renowned insurance market. The act was first introduced in 1871 and has undergone several amendments to ensure the regulation and stability of the insurance industry. It establishes the legal framework for underwriting and claims processes, promoting transparency and accountability among members.
The act also provides guidelines for the financial conduct of Lloyd's syndicates and their members, ensuring they maintain sufficient capital to meet their obligations. This regulatory oversight helps protect policyholders and maintain confidence in the insurance market, contributing to the overall stability of the financial system.
