Presenters:

• Mat Holland, Claims Director, DWF Claims – click here for Mat’s bio.

The topic will be covered under two headings:

A) Named insured – cross liability to principals

• Who is the underwriter picking up?
• Does the underwriter know all parties to whom cover has been promised under the policy ?
• Total awareness of who is covered or has been promised cover means you can price the policy accordingly.

B) Policy construction – operative clauses – conditions

• Courts appear to be interpreting to the benefit of the actual operation, notwithstanding the policy contract wording.
• Samples and claim explanations will amplify these topics.
