Our March lunch meeting is on Tuesday 10 March and our guest is Jeff Heasman a leading international trainer with many years of experience working within the legal and insurance industries as a litigation executive and senior liability adjuster. This thought-provoking session will provide an insight into some of the more bizarre cases that have had an impact on the Insurance 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.
