Monthly insurance policy wording update
The Word, March 2025
25 March 2025
For our March edition of The Word we cover a range of topics of interest from across the insurance sector.
In light of recent events, we take a look at some high-profile aviation incidents and the implications of this for the insurance industry. We also consider what lessons insurers can learn from the FCA’s most recent report regarding vulnerable customers.
We also consider the impact of Sky & Mace v Riverstone Managing Acency & Ors and the potential impact on insurance policy wording, and secondly the decision in Lonham Group Ltd v Scotbeef Ltd which provides useful insights into the importance of distinguishing between representation and warranties.
Finally, we explore the proposed abolition of 'no-fault' evictions, and the new UK death rate’s 'record low'.
We hope you find this edition informative and insightful.
