Presenters:

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

The topic will be covered under two headings:

Named insured – cross liability to principals

• Who is the underwriter covering?
• 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 enables you to price the policy accordingly.

Policy construction – operative clauses – conditions

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