Critical Business Interruption Insurance Learnings for Brokers following the Infinity Reliance Judgement

  • Thu 30 Oct 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
  • Online
    • Alan Chandler

One of the most important judgements in recent times relating to Bi insurance was made in the Infinity Reliance case, and brokers who fail to change their proceedings risk large Pi claims against them going forward. This case has shown brokers are very exposed to the following three areas: 1. If indemnity wordings are used rather than declaration linked. 2. Any broker guidance note must reflect the actual policy wording. 3. AICOW must be discussed when there are unusual exposures. Average was applied by Aviva to the Bi claim following a large loss, and the broker was held liable for most of the shortfall, which was nearly £3m, due to their failure on the above three points. This webinar, presented by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK, looks to understand how brokers are exposed following this judgement and how to take practical steps to ensure the right procedures to mitigate these exposures. This webinar is a must for all broking staff and has significant relevance for underwriters and claims staff also.

The Rise of Errors And Omission Claims Against Brokers And How These Can Be Mitigated

  • Mon 10 Nov 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
  • Online
    • Alan Chandler

This presentation will explore why the number of errors and omission claims against brokers are on the increase and how these can potentially be mitigated. Ask a Pi solicitor which Pi claims are the easiest to deal with, and they nearly always say broker Pi claims because you just must settle! – brokers time and again fail to professionally train staff and record key things in a correct manner, meaning that when these claims go to court there is often no defence.
