Japan requires an agent who represents several insurers and recommends from a comparison to explain the comparable products and the reason for the recommendation

Tasks this bears on

Where this applies

Japan. The enforcement regulation says that when an insurance solicitor that represents two or more insurers proposes a policy by selecting, from comparable policies of the same kind, one that fits the customer's wishes, it must explain the outline of those comparable policies and the reason for the proposal; and that a proposal made without such a selection must still state its reason. The quoted item reads the same in every version e-Gov holds from 1 April 2017. The duty attaches to the solicitor, which may be an agency company rather than a person; it does not cover comparison websites.

What this means

What it does not yet show

One country; the duty is on the agency, which may be a company, and it does not say a person must deliver the explanation.

What you can check

Does it change the assessment?
