Monthly insurance policy wording update
The Word, October 2024
28 October 2024
For our October edition of The Word we cover a range of topics of interest from across the insurance sector, including updates to the UK’s Arbitration Bill, changes to the ICAEW minimum PII requirements and the potential impact of the Employment Rights Bill on EPLI policies.
We also look at the case of Peabody v National Housebuilding Council, which gives useful guidance on limitation periods in the event of contractor insolvency.
Finally we consider the impact of weight loss drugs on medical insurers and the potential for increased transparency between vehicle manufacturers and insurers in relation to insurability by design.
We hope you find this edition informative and insightful.
