Consumer Insurance Contracts Act 2019

Contracts affecting subrogation and third parties

25. (1) Where a contract of insurance includes a provision that has the effect of excluding or limiting the insurer’s liability in respect of a loss because the consumer is a party to an agreement that excludes or limits a right of the consumer to recover damages from a person other than the insurer in respect of the loss, the insurer may not rely on the provision unless the insurer informed the consumer on paper or on another durable medium and in terms that are clear and unambiguous, before the contract of insurance was entered into, of the effect of the provision.

(2) For the purposes of any matter related to subrogation under this Act, a reference to a consumer includes a reference to a third party.
