Time to get the claims prepared and the money flowing

Posted Feb 1, 2021

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

Posted Jan 19, 2021

The Supreme Court judgment in the FCA test case is highly favourable to policyholders.

In…

Supreme Court rejects all COVID appeals from insurers

Posted Jan 15, 2021

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

Posted Jan 14, 2021

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

Posted Sep 23, 2020

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…

Posted May 14, 2020

We have given much thought to ways in which we can help once you have a rejection letter from your insurer.

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

Posted May 7, 2020

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…
