effectively penalises

Frankly, I'd spare the reader the legalistic slotting into a nominalised category (quasi-punishment for a quasi-offence) and just say what the law does.

Unless the term occurs repeatedly in your text and it's actually directed at readers who welcome that sort of thing ....

More context. The phrase is not actually part of the Insurance Code itself.

Assurances
Pour une assurabilité élargie des personnes et une confidentialité renforcée des données de santé

c) L’article 113-8 du Code des assurances sur la « fausse déclaration ».

L’article 113-8 du Code des assurances est ainsi rédigé :

« Indépendamment des causes ordinaires de nullité, et sous réserve des dispositions de l’article L. 132-26, le contrat d’assurance est nul en cas de réticence ou de fausse déclaration intentionnelle de la part de l’assuré, quand cette réticence ou cette fausse déclaration change l’objet du risque ou en diminue l’opinion pour l’assureur, alors même que le risque omis ou dénaturé par l’assuré a été sans influence sur le sinistre.

Les primes payées demeurent alors acquises à l’assureur, qui a droit au paiement de toutes les primes échues à titre des dommages et intérêts.

Les dispositions du second alinéa ne sont pas applicables aux assurances sur la vie. »


Le principe de non-asymétrie de l’information est donc inscrit dans cet article qui sanctionne très fortement toute non-révélation d’information de la part de l’assuré, qui est assimilé largement à une fraude à l’assurance. Ainsi que l’a fait remarquer l’un des auditionnés à la Commission de travail, *** cet article institue de fait une quasi – peine pour fausse déclaration dans la mesure où les primes versées sont alors entièrement conservées par l’assureur***.
