The Southampton Insurance Institute welcomes Michael Howard. Michael is a Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute and qualified as a solicitor in 2002 having worked for various insurance brokers in London and Hong Kong. He specialises in insurance coverage disputes, policy wording drafting and defending professionals. The talk will introduce a number of significant reforms. It was designed following extensive consultation and is intended to update the statutory framework to bring insurance legislation up to current best practice.
The changes that will be imposed under the act are likely to affect anyone involved in the insurance market. The changes are wide ranging and relate to the disclosure of material facts, the remedies available for non-disclosure, policy terms and warranties, and fraudulent claims. The act comes into force on 12 August 2016 which gives the insurance market 18 months to prepare and adjust for its implementation. That may seem some time away, but in reality, it is only one renewal for the majority of insurances.
