Where are we now? Covid-19 business interruption insurance and the latest case law.
Covid-19 business interruption insurance claims continue to occupy the Courts’ time with a series of judgments handed down in late 2023 and early 2024 dealing with issues of policy trigger, claims adjustment and aggregation of claims. The principles established in these claims have application to business interruption more generally and indeed more broadly across all lines of insurance. In this webinar, we will provide an overview of significant matters and examine the most recent Covid-related case law and its impact on the insurance industry.
