This case has shown brokers are very exposed to the following three areas: If indemnity wordings are used rather than declaration linked. Any broker guidance note must reflect the actual policy wording. AICOW must be discussed when there are unusual exposures. Average was applied by Aviva to the BI claim following a large loss, and the broker was held liable for most of the shortfall, which was nearly £3m, due to their failure on the above three points.
