What should I ask the insurer first?
AZN directs consumers with contract problems to the insurer or its complaints department first. For your Hong Kong policy, request the issuer’s actual procedure, recipient and written response. Identify the disputed decision and the remedy sought. Ask which next-stage body the insurer considers applicable and on what basis; a Slovenian address alone does not answer that question. [C1, C9]
Can AZN overturn the policy decision?
AZN states that it is not an appellate body and is not authorised to settle consumer disputes over individual insurance contracts. It also does not decide or advise on specific concluded contracts. Ask AZN whether any supervisory concern falls within its remit, but obtain legal advice about your contractual claim rather than presenting AZN as a route that can award payment. [C1]
Which Hong Kong route needs checking?
IA’s consumer guidance distinguishes complaints about insurer or intermediary conduct from disputes about claims, which it is not empowered to adjudicate. For a contractual payment dispute, ask whether the Insurance Complaints Bureau or a contractual or court route is available. Confirm the issuer’s participation, the dispute type and applicable forum conditions with the body or a lawyer; this guide establishes no automatic overseas access. [C9]
What should I prepare for jurisdiction advice?
Keep the contract, governing-law and forum clauses, application, claim decision and complaint correspondence together. Add where the sale occurred, your residence at the relevant times and the remedy you seek. Ask a Slovenian lawyer, with Hong Kong advice where needed, about jurisdiction, time limits and enforcement. This suggested case file is not a mandatory AZN evidence list. AZN’s guidance describes its complaint role, without determining the court deadlines for your case. [C1]
