FCA Statement

The FCA announced that it will be seeking legal clarity on non-damage business interruption (BI) insurance in a bid to resolve the uncertainty which many customers say they are facing when making BI claims, and the basis on which insurers are making decisions about those claims. The regulator has brought to court those cases which, it says, will provide the greatest clarity on specific policy clauses in BI policies.

The FCA says that it has chosen cases which offer a representative sample of the most frequently used policy wordings which are giving rise to this uncertainty, and that it will seek to put cases before the court on an agreed basis with the insurers concerned to get the fastest possible judgement. The FCA goes on to say that this will not prevent individuals from being able to also access the Financial Ombudsman or the courts if applicable

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on individuals and businesses, many of whom are rightly turning to their insurers for help. Generali is committed to providing the best support and service for our customers at every stage, responding to enquiries and settling valid claims as quickly as possible.
