Article 202

Member States may provide for exemption from Article 201(1) for legal expenses insurance if all the following conditions are met: the insurance is limited to cases arising from the use of road vehicles in the territory of the Member State concerned; the insurance is connected to a contract to provide assistance in the event of accident or breakdown involving a road vehicle; neither the legal expenses insurance undertaking nor the assistance insurer carries out any class of liability insurance; measures are taken so that the legal counsel and representation of each of the parties to a dispute is effected by wholly independent lawyers where those parties are insured for legal expenses by the same insurance undertaking. An exemption granted pursuant to paragraph 1 shall not affect the application of Article 200.
