A plain English overview of understanding an insurance policy wording
This one-hour webinar, presented by Alan Chandler one of the most popular presenters in the UK, looks to provide a plain English walk through what makes up an insurance policy wording.
One of the learnings of the Bi and Covid-19 court battles is the fact that you ignore the construction of policy wordings at your peril.
All brokers, underwriters and claims staff should have a good grasp of the component parts of an insurance policy wording and this presentation will provide this understanding.

- How the Consumer Rights Act and Unfair Contract Terms Act respond in respect of exclusions, conditions, and warranties.
