London Market, Autumn 2023: What the insurance market needs to know
08 December 2023
Welcome to the Autumn 2023 edition of ‘London Market Quarterly’; a digest of cases, news and information for those working in the Lloyd’s and London Market.
In this edition we look at some recent and ongoing cases involving decisions in the Covid BI litigation, interpretation of a DTEP exclusion in a WELCAR policy, and recent Australian decisions involving trade credit and D&O.
We also compare climate change-related decisions from around the world, track the progress of the Vesttoo fraud, and review the Law Commission’s proposed amendments to the Arbitration Act 1996.
As ever, if you would like to discuss any of the matters below, do not hesitate to get in touch with our London Market team.
