BILA YOUNG PROFESSIONALS - Virtual Seminar - Consumer Duty for General Insurers
18/05/2023 / 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Arguably one of the biggest FCA initiatives in recent times, the fast approaching new Consumer Duty is one of the latest regulatory developments the general insurance sector is grappling with. General insurers as manufacturers play a key role in ensuring good outcomes for ‘retail customers’, but many in the sector are still asking questions such as:

How is this any different from treating customers fairly?

  • Aren’t we already compliant because we comply with the FCA’s rules on product oversight and governance introduced in October 2021?

In this session, DLA Piper Insurance Regulatory solicitors Matthew Hunter and Rhea Ingram-Smith will address these questions, and demystify some of the key areas of the Consumer Duty as it will affect general insurers.

BILA Young Professionals - Aggregation: an interim update
28/03/2023 / 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

In Stonegate v MS Amlin Butcher J decided preliminary issues in a claim for COVID-related business interruption loss, reducing the quantum of Stonegate’s claim from over £1billion to a few million pounds. This talk will consider aggregation clauses in the light of that judgment. To put matters in context it will begin with a recap of the relevant findings from FCA v Arch and an overview of Butcher J’s findings as to what constitutes a covered event. Freddy will then look in depth at both the existing principles which Butcher J reiterated (how to approach the language of aggregation clauses and the relevance of ‘remoteness’) and the new principles he decided (as to the time at which, and the knowledge with which, aggregation is to be considered). To bring those principles to life, Freddy will consider their application to the facts of Stonegate and finish with an overview of the other matters decided by Butcher J (e.g. the treatment of furlough payments) in Stonegate and the related cases of Various Eateries v Allianz and Greggs v Zurich.
