CP 144 Giving a PDS in telephone sales of general insurance products

Released 28 October 2010. Comments closed 9 December 2010.

This consultation paper:

  • sets out relief we are considering to change the time when a general insurer or its authorised representatives must give a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) if a quote is given to a retail client for a general insurance product during a telephone call. A quote may be an invitation to apply for a particular general insurance product and therefore an offer to issue that product; and
  • seeks the views of consumers, product issuers and financial services professionals.
