The PRICL were mentioned in the report of the Spanish Working Group on International Arbitration in the Insurance and Reinsurance Sector under the auspices of CIAM (Madrid International arbitration center) and SEAIDA (the Spanish branch of AIDA). The report refers to the PRICL when explaining different practices in reinsurance law. In particular, Art. 1.1.4 was cited to explain the differences between agreed usages and general trade usages, and Art. 2.1.2 with regard to the principle of utmost good faith. The full report in Spanish is available here.

On 10–11 September 2026, the first edition of the Short Course on International Reinsurance Law took place in Zurich. Over two days, the course brought together academics and practitioners to discuss key legal issues in international reinsurance, including duties and remedies, utmost good faith and contract certainty, follow-the-settlements clauses, aggregation of losses, claims handling and reinsurance arbitration.
The course combined perspectives from leading reinsurance markets with the approach developed in the Principles of Reinsurance Contract Law (PRICL), exploring how PRICL can help address some of the challenges arising in international reinsurance practice.
Part of the programme was hosted by Swiss Re at its Zurich headquarters.
