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 2, French, - la%20plus%20enti%C3%A8re%20bonne%20foi

De plus, il est requis aussi bien de l'assuré que de l'assureur. 2, record 2, French, - la%20plus%20enti%C3%A8re%20bonne%20foi
