单词 | Twisting |
释义 | 誘換保險單 In life insurance, the making of inaccurate or misleading statements or comparisons to induce a policyholder to replace existing life insurance policy with other life insurance policy to the policyholder’s disadvantage: Code of Practice for Life Insurance Replacement clause 3.1. The insurance agent earns fresh commission in respect of the same policy holder if he persuades the policy holder to change insurance companies on the basis of an apparently superior product after the first two years. The client, the selling office, and the non-selling office may initiate a complaint about suspected twisting. Once twisting is identified as likely to have occurred, the offices concerned should attempt to reach an agreement within 30 days after the identification, keeping in mind the client’s interest foremost. They should keep the client informed of any material facts or arrangement which may affect their interest and any follow up action or arrangement should be completed within the next 15 days. If it is agreed that twisting has occurred, the selling office must immediately report the agent to the Insurance Agents Registration Board (IARB) or the broker to the broker bodies, suspend the agent from selling any further business or suspend dealing with the broker on any further new business, claw back the commission paid on the cases in question, and write to the client. The non-selling office should arrange terms for reinstatement of the policies that have been twisted, if the client so wishes. These terms must, to the maximum extent possible, allow the client to return to the same position he would have been in had the policies not been twisted: Code of Practice for Life Insurance Replacement clauses 3.7, 3.8. Although the Insurance Companies Ordinance (Cap 41) and the Code of Practice provide a regulatory and supervisory framework in which reprehensible tactics such as twisting are covered, it is not a bar to the non-selling office’s access to the court: AXA China Region Insurance Co Ltd & Anor v Pacific Century Insurance Co Ltd & Ors [2003] 3 HKC 1. |
