Business Interruption Introductory session - Establishing Insurable Gross Profit
The Insurance Institute of Norwich invite you to a Webinar hosted by Nick Thomas and Associates on the subject of Establishing Insurable Gross Profit.
The case of Infinity Alliance v Heath Crawford [decided in 2023] highlighted a gap in understanding, which was not exclusive to the defendant firm, that of establishing a
firm’s insurable gross profit. An increasing reliance upon standardised cover has probably reduced those skills necessary to correctly establish an applicant firm’s gross profit and to overcome some of the issues that this process can highlight.
