Insurance Law
CIMA Code compliance, policy drafting, broking regulation and contested claims.
Insurance in Cameroon is governed by the CIMA Code, a regional instrument applying across fourteen African states. We advise insurers, reinsurers, brokers and policyholders on product design, regulatory compliance and disputed claims.
Coverage disputes turn on wording
Most contested claims are decided on exclusions, conditions precedent and notification clauses rather than on the headline peril. We review wording with that in mind, both when drafting a policy and when defending or pursuing a claim under one.
Premium payment and the cash-before-cover rule
The CIMA Code ties cover to premium payment in ways that surprise foreign insureds. We make sure clients understand exactly when their cover attaches.
