Uberrimae fidei

This Latin term means ‘in utmost good faith’. It is used in contracts, particularly insurance contracts, to reflect the fact that, if one party is to rely on the other party to disclose all relevant information, then there is an obligation on the party disclosing the information to be full and honest in its disclosure. See also Insurance.
