Four members of Crown Office Chambers will explore and discuss key insurance issues that arise from the fire safety and cladding claims that are ultimately being made against insurers under various types of policies following the Grenfell Tower Tragedy in 2017. Ben, Isabel, Ivor and Elizabeth will consider the various remedies that are now being sought in such claims and whether they neatly fit within the scope of cover available under various insurance policies. They will focus in particular on professional indemnity policies and the various limits that have been placed on cover by insurers in recent years.

The BILA Journal

The BILA Journal (“Journal”) is the official journal of the Association. The Journal was first launched in 1964 and has been published regularly since then.
