On 25th January 2023 the FCA made it clear that "some firms may be further behind in their thinking and planning for the Duty. This brings a risk that they may not be ready in time, or they may struggle to embed the Duty effectively throughout their business." Their review highlighted three key areas where firms should particularly focus their attention during the second half of the implementation period (to 31 July 2023). This General Insurance focused session will also include an update on Product Value Assessments (note the FCA criticised insurers for their lack of progress with this). Both brokers and insurers have an important role to play and this session will ensure you understand what it is you have to do and what changes need to happen in year two of the process to ensure it all gets done.

This will result in a sharp spike in both Directors and Officers and Employment Liability Practices claims. It should also be noted that many more directors are being sued in recent times individually and that the amount of HSE prosecutions have trebled against individual directors since 2015.
