Talk:Life Assurance Act 1774

Untitled
I have failed this because first, it just didn't feel comprehensive enough. I'd like to see some documentation that this problem was on the government's mind before the act was passed. The article tells us people were using life insurance to evade gambling laws ... had there been public complaints about this? Did people sometimes murder the unrelated third parties to collect? There's a lot that comes to mind. And what of when it came to pass? Did Parliament pass it unanimously? Was there debate? Who was against it, and why might they have been? These questions beg to be asked. And is there more to its subsequent jurisprudence than we see? How readily was it accepted?

It's also missing some citations. "it has since been held as the definite expectation of suffering a financial loss directly due to someone's death." When? By whom? Also, it is not enough that other articles on court decisions and sources exist ... we need to see the citations here.

When these are fixed, and someone is seriously working on this, it can renominated. Daniel Case 05:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
