Property Insurance - Why 15%+ rate increases will happen in 2022
With the combined increase in raw materials and higher labour costs, insurers are likely to need 9.6% increases in premiums just to cover rebuild cost inflation in the UK. Additionally, they need an extra 6% to balance their loss-making property books - meaning policyholders are looking at 15%+ increases in 2022. Why is this happening and will this worrying trend continue? This presentation by Alan Chandler will provide the answers and is a must for underwriters, brokers and claims staff alike!

The “purpose of duty” and a major new approach to professional negligence claims from the Supreme Court
In 2021 the Supreme Court, consisting of seven justices, handed down judgment in two cases (Manchester Building Society v Grant Thornton UK LLP and Khan v Meadows).

BI Regional Update
We have all closely followed the BI Test case launched by the FCA late 2020, with the final judgment having been handed down on 15 January 2021. The outcome was clear and far-reaching. The case highlighted the ongoing exposure of insurance brokers who arranged the relevant policies (who should have by now reassessed their advice process under ICOBS, duty of care to clients). Now that the noise has settled, we will review how the industry acted on the findings and what (if any) other implications have emerged.
