Lloyd's of London & Royal Courts of Justice Trip

London has played a defining role in the development of insurance over the last 250 years. The strapline ‘London Insures the World’ is still used today. CII Leicester is again organising a special day visit to London which will feature guided tours of Lloyds of London and the Royal Courts of Justice.

The tour of Lloyds includes an explanation of how Lloyd’s operates by a retired non-marine broker. Visitors also see the famous Lutine Bell, the Loss Book, the Adam Room, the Old Library and the Nelson Collection.

Those who have passed their Insurance Law examination will be able to reel off around 20 important legal cases, many of which were decided at the Royal Courts of Justice. Since 1882, the High Court and Court of Appeal have sat there. We will be visiting on a working day. A professional guide will conduct our tour of this historic building on its six-acre site and reference some insurance cases. There will then be time for visitors to sit in on a live case of their choice, to see typical court procedure firsthand.

The visits to Lloyds and the Royal Courts of Justice will be informative and educational. They will enhance the knowledge and understanding of those attending about the workings of the London insurance market and the civil legal system in which so many insurance disputes have been resolved.

The visit will take place on Tuesday 24 June. It will be significantly subsidised. The net cost to members will be just £20 per head (inclusive of rail transport to London and lunch). We have a maximum of ten places. You must be a member of the Insurance Institute of Leicester. The group will leave Leicester Rail Station at 08.31 and arrive back at 18.09. To book your place, or to make any enquiry about the event, please email amy.godson@howdeninsurance.co.uk. If a place is cancelled less than one week before departure, a charge of £50 becomes payable.
