A contract is said to be "uberrimae fidei" when the promisee is bound to communicate to the promisor every fact and circumstance which may influence him in deciding whether to enter into the contract or not. Contracts which require "uberrima fides" are those entered into between persons in a particular relationship, as guardian and ward, solicitor and client, insurer and insured. 4, record 1, English, - contract%20of%20utmost%20good%20faith
