Welcome to the second edition of Keoghs’ regular Property Insurance AWARE magazine, designed to supplement and expand on our regular client e-alerts which we hope you continue to find useful.
This edition focuses on key developments affecting the legal and insurance industries. Particular focus is given to the recent flooding events and the impact this has had on insurer clients.
We also consider the legal position following the recent decision in Mitchell regarding relief from sanctions; and the court's approach to balancing proportionality and costs when it comes to witness evidence. Articles on combating fraud and what the options are for insurers when over-payments have been made to an insured in error are included. The ‘Insanity defence’, Party Walls etc Act 1996 and how to split a successful recovery between insured and uninsured losses are also considered.
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact Matthew Rogers the Head of Commercial Litigation at Keoghs, Clare Lloyd or the individual authors. Likewise, if there is anything you would like us to address in our next edition please let us know.
