The Salisbury Novichok Poisoning Case

This session will consider the various ways in which Business Interruption policies may (or may not) have been able to respond to the challenges faced by businesses in Salisbury following the Novichok contamination in March 2018. Further traces of Novichok were identified in Salisbury and elsewhere. This seminar will consider the various ways that the incident has affected the city, and the scope of insurance policy response to those.

Issues to be addressed include:

• Damage at the premises
• Non-damage Denial of Access
• Denial of access
• Loss of attraction
• Key differences between policy wordings will be identified

Breakfast rolls will be available from 08.30 with the seminar starting at 9 a.m. for an hour.

By the end of the presentation those attending will

• have a greater appreciation as to the different Business Interruption covers that could assist a policyholder whose business operations are affected in circumstances such as those that affected Salisbury

The session will be delivered by Damian Glynn, Director, Head of Financial Risks BA (Hons) FCA FCILA FUEDI ELAE FIFAA, at Sedgwick. Damian chairs the Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters (CILA) Business Interruption group and has previously set BI examinations for the CILA.
