INSURANCE ACT 1973 - SECT 99

Operation of State and Territory laws on section 10

             (1)  It is the intention of the Parliament that section 10 (which provides that a body corporate or Lloyd's underwriter commits an offence in certain circumstances) is not to apply to the exclusion of a law of a State or Territory.

             (2)  However, section 10 applies to the exclusion of a law of a State or Territory to the extent that the effect of the law is to authorise:

                     (a)  a body corporate or a Lloyd's underwriter to carry on insurance business generally; or

                     (b)  a body corporate that is not a general insurer to carry on specified insurance business or to carry on insurance business included in a specified class of insurance business.
