The word Uberrimae fidei is souce from latin , it carry the same meaning as " utmost good faith" . Principle of Uberrimae fidei always apply under the law of contract (especially in insurance) in the case of one party is under a fundamental duty to disclose all the material fact and surrounding circumstances that could influence the decision of the other party to enter into the agreement .This because insurance contract is based dupon mutual trust and confident between the insurer and insured. Non-disclose or partial-disclose information which is material fact will cause the agreement to be voidable.
But non-disclose information which is not material will not cause the fracture of the contract .
