Oil Recycling Facility Suffers Devastating Fire on Christmas Day

Brocklesby Limited are a leading food waste recycling company whose expertise lies in recycling edible oils and food fats for a diverse range of end user industry sectors including biofuels and energy generation. They work closely with major UK retailers and food manufacturers throughout the UK and Ireland to provide a bespoke waste management and recycling service producing in excess of 1,200 tonnes each week.

Time to get the claims prepared and the money flowing

The Supreme Court judgment a couple of weeks ago raised many spirits, mostly justified. Some insurers have already invited claims submissions, others are waiting for the declarations that the parties to the action and the court should finalise soon. In other words, it’s time to be getting claims prepared. Quite apart from other considerations, time…

Supreme Court clarifies COVID claims based on area

The Supreme Court judgment in the FCA test case is highly favourable to policyholders. One aspect it has clarified is that where the claim is based on an occurrence of COVID-19 within a specified radius, it is enough for the insured to prove that there was at least one such occurrence in the area. In…

Supreme Court rejects all COVID appeals from insurers

This morning’s Supreme Court judgment is welcome and encouraging. Essentially, the Court rejected all insurers’ appeals from the lower court hearing and clarified many issues. The key points are: If there is at least one episode of COVID-19 within the insured radius, the “continuous cause” decision of the lower court is upheld An instruction given…

We win late payment damages

The Enterprise Act 2016 had provisions, later exported into the Insurance Act 2015, for insurers to be liable for damages resulting from late payment of a claim. Our client is a consumer with an overseas holiday home seriously damaged by an insured event. Delays on insurers’ part were egregious, to the extent that during the…

More clarity needed following FCA’s COVID-19 Test Case

Last week the High Court delivered its judgment in the FCA Test Case. This has been rightly greeted as a victory for many business interruption policyholders whose COVID-19-related claims had been rejected. In adopting causation as the central pleading in its case, the FCA achieved a ruling going to the heart of quantum in persuading…

COVID-19: The options for policyholders eligible to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service

We have given much thought to ways in which we can help once you have a rejection letter from your insurer. There has been much publicity about possible class actions and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced that it will start High Court proceedings to get what it describes as legal certainty when it…

COVID-19: It’s now time to help policyholders and their brokers

Every crisis develops in two phases: identification and understanding, followed by action. And in the world of Covid-19 claims we’re now moving into the second. We’ve spent many weeks understanding and analysing policies and, latterly, the repudiation letters, often coming out in common form without regard for the individual policyholders’ policies and circumstances. It’s time…

COVID-19: No justification for specious and spurious defences

The path the covid virus is tracking through humankind is well recorded and following the predictions of the medics and scientists who know it. And so it is with its vicarious progress through the insurance world. We have all been able to predict the business effects, the financial shock, and the responses of insurers to…
