Der Umfang des Ruhens der Leistungspflicht des Versicherers in der privaten Krankenversicherung

In this essay the author looks at the figure of the rest of the insurer’s duty of performance in German private health insurance as it is regulated in section 193 p. 6 VVG. After describing the basic rules, she analyses which kinds of performance rest and which the insurer despite the rest of his duty has to fulfill. In this case the author, too, looks at the opinion formulated in literature that the rest means a restriction to the level of the basic tariff. She concludes that the purpose of the figure intended by the legislator, having a sanction for non-paying policyholders, is not achieved.
