About this statute

This provision mainly sets out definitions used in the Insurance Act and shows the Act’s table of contents. This part defines insurance terms and requires insurers doing business in the Northwest Territories to be licensed, with special rules for automobile insurance. This provision lets the Facility Association operate without a licence or registration, but requires rate filing and approval before rates can take effect, and sets filing/reporting rules for insurers and the Superintendent. This part requires insurers to disclose and file variable insurance information, keep certain accounts and contract terms in order, provide proof-of-loss forms on request, and follow limits on commissions, no-licence business, and title insurance form requirements. This provision sets insurance rules for fire and life policies, including mandatory policy terms, claim notice and proof requirements, claim deadlines, and an offence for unfair race- or religion-based discrimination by licensed insurers.
