Brexit
Lloyd’s is proposing to transfer certain EEA insurance policies to Lloyd’s Brussels. The proposed transfer will not change terms and conditions of any policy, except that Lloyd’s Brussels will become the insurer and Data Controller in respect of the transferred policies.
Further information about the proposal (including whether it could affect your pre-transfer position), which policies are transferring, your rights and what you need to do can be found at:
COVID-19
A test-case was brought in court against what the FCA considered to be a range of non-damage BI policy wordings that were representative of those used by the insurance industry.
The aim of the test-case was to determine the interpretation of certain clauses within policies that include non-damage BI. They hoped that this would assist in providing greater clarity to insurers and policyholders alike in the handling of COVID-19 claims.
