It’s been a couple of weeks since we published our last news about the handling of Covid-19 cases. In those weeks many sectors of the insurance market have made their intentions clear, and those intentions are rarely encouraging for the insurance buyer. We are beginning to see the defences offered, frequently in the face of…

It’s only a week or so since we set out our initial thoughts on claims resulting from the virus. In that time the government has introduced relief measures for various businesses, locked the country down and set out its suppression strategy. It has also been a hectic week for us at Thompson and Bryan. In…

COVID-19 changes everything. It threatens individual lives, imperils the stability of the economy and has the most dramatic effect on commercial activity in generations. At Thompson and Bryan we have set up a dedicated unit to understand how we can best serve our broker friends and their policyholder clients. We have researched policy covers –…

The spread of the virus is beginning to affect every element of daily life and commercial activity. Many businesses will suffer from the precautions and impositions that will be put in place, and it’s fair to ask what help they could get from their business interruption insurers.

Major building claims on homeowners’ policies recognise that the policyholder needs expert help in assessing and scoping the works needed, knowing which contractors can do them to the right standard, at the right price and on time, and ensuring that everything happens as it should. That service is paid for under the professional fees cover…

We have just resolved in our client’s favour a dispute centring on Part 4A of the Insurance Act 2015. That’s the section that gives a right of action should insurers unreasonably withhold payment. The wording of the relevant section is admirably and unambiguously clear: It is an implied term of every contract of insurance that…

A small but important part of our business involves European-based interests. What we do, assisting in the administration of insurance contracts, is a regulated activity under the 2000 legislation that gave effect to a European directive on financial services requiring compliant legislation by each member state. Our authorisation by the Financial Conduct Authority, based on…

Most of us are now familiar with the various provisions of the 2012 and 2015 Acts relating solely to insurance contracts. Perhaps less well known is the protection afforded to insurance consumers – private individuals insuring in a private capacity – by the Consumer Rights Act 2015. We all know that insurance contracts were, after…

In general terms insurers will not pay our fees in acting for policyholders, hence the care we take in establishing the potential client’s demands and needs and discussing fee levels that best suit the business and the economics of the claim. Rarely, when the maladministration by the insurer is thought particularly egregious, the Financial Ombudsman…
