A Practical Guide to Business Interruption Insurance

A practical guide to a fast-developing area of law of substantial importance to businesses hit by the effects of COVID-19 and the imposition of restrictions by the UK Government. The book explains in practical terms the complex decisions in the FCA test case and subsequent appeal to the UK Supreme Court, dealing with the key differences between policies, the definitions of specific words and phrases in insurance contracts, and the new approach to causation in claims arising from the pandemic.

This guide provides a walk through of examples of policy wordings, recent decided cases, FCA guidance and the practical and tactical aspects of insurance litigation. It is suitable for practitioners and businesses alike.
