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.
