For Better or for Worse

For better or for worse: cases that shaped our professional lives

We welcome all members & guests to attend a seminar which will be presented by Jeff Heaseman.

This session will provide an insight into some of the more bizarre cases that have had an impact on the industry, from the curious case of the snail in the ginger beer bottle, through to cannibals in a boat and many more. It will focus on how these cases have thrown up the practical and ethical issues the law has grappled with and how ultimately this has impacted on the evolution of the insurance industry over the years. This is a must for anyone with an interest in the historical development of the insurance industry and how it adapts to judicial decisions.

Jeff Heasman is a leading international trainer with many years of experience working within the legal and insurance industries as a litigation executive and senior liability adjuster.

In addition to having handled litigation up to the Court of Appeal in London and dealt with insurance claims arising from many worldwide jurisdictions, Jeff has extensive experience of providing training to lawyers, insurance professionals and English language teachers across the world.

Aim of the Presentation:

• Assess the social and economic context of cases that have shaped the insurance industry over the years.
• Critically analyse previously decided case law.

Understand how, for better or worse, the industry has adapted to judicial decisions
