L'origine de la notion de la plus entière bonne foi. La notion anglaise Utmost good faith (Uberrimae Fidei), remonte au droit maritime. Elle se situe au point d'origine du droit moderne des assurances. Les navires marchands étant bien souvent hors de portée d'examen et d'évaluation par l'assureur à cause de leurs multiples périples à travers l'Empire et au-delà, le droit britannique a rapidement reconnu l'importance de la bonne foi la plus haute, de la part du preneur ou de l'assuré. 2, record 1, French, - la%20plus%20enti%C3%A8re%20bonne%20foi

Un contrat d'assurance est un des rares contrats commerciaux conclus dans la bonne foi la plus entière. Cette exigence suppose un degré d'honnêteté encore plus élevé que celui exigé pour les contrats ordinaires. De plus, il est requis aussi bien de l'assuré que de l'assureur. 2, record 1, French, - la%20plus%20enti%C3%A8re%20bonne%20foi
