Summary/Abstract: The principle of utmost good faith has emerged as a solution in order to be able to cope with the rapidity of commercial relations, as well as the diversity of the object of the insurance policy. Thus, this principle is a sine qua non in maritime insurance. It allows insurance contracts to be concluded quickly and works on the basis of mutual trust between the contractual partners. Different from the principle of good faith, the principle of utmost good faith is specific to the matter of insurance, not being applicable to other categories of contracts enshrined in the Civil Code. However, it raises certain conduct and regulatory issues that will be discussed in this article.
