BILA Lunchtime Lecture – 13:00, Friday 16th June 2017 – “Modernisation of the London Insurance Market: Harnessing Electronic Communications in Support of Placement”
Dr Miriam Goldby will be speaking about “Modernisation of the London Insurance Market: Harnessing Electronic Communications in Support of Placement”
Abstract: In recent years, the London Insurance Market has seen a drive towards modernisation, with an aim to maintain the market’s competitiveness while at the same time increasing contract certainty for insurers and assureds alike. Within this context, the market has sought to harness electronic communications to support the placement process and maintain, throughout the placement period, an up-to-date record of discussions and negotiations. The most recent development in this regard, the PPL, has the potential to be a very significant step towards this objective. This lecture will examine the potential legal implications of these developments for the law relating to insurance contracts.
