WEBINAR: Due to popular demand - FCA Business Interruption Test Case

Due to popular demand the Insurance and Actuarial Society of Glasgow's Professional Development Group is happy to announce that their next CPD event will be a repeat of the event focusing on the FCA’s ground-breaking test case at the High Court.

With the hearing commencing on the 20 July 2020 (scheduled to take 8 days), we will have the opportunity to review the initial arguments and responses. Whilst a decision is unlikely at this stage, this presents an opportunity to review the case to date.

Insurers and brokers have new requirements imposed on them as a result of FS20/8 (effective from 17 June 2020). At the same time it will highlight the exposure for insurance brokers all of whom will have arranged these covers for clients (and some will be classed as co-manufacturers under PROD) and encourage them to reassess their advice process under ICOBS and their overriding professional duty to clients.

Learning objectives - by the end of this webinar delegates will gain insights into:

• The Test Case and why brought
• Insurers’ defences
• What FS20/8 requires insurers and brokers to do
• The threat to brokers in terms of the advice process
• ICOBS and how to ensure your sales process is robust

It is relevant to general insurance brokers/intermediaries, their insurers and any other market participants.
