View event detailsSURE: a new technique to ensure clients have understood your advice
We naturally ask the client if there is anything they didn´t understand and often, the client replies “No”. Or we ask if everything was clear and the client answers “Yes”. But can we rely on these answers as being an accurate reflection of whether the client truly has listened to and understood that advice? The answer is NO!! That is why, in this webinar, Jeff Heasman will outline his SURE technique for insurance and financial services professionals, based on concept checking, a method traditionally used in language teaching.

View event detailsLate Payment of Claims: the next battleground uncovered and explained
The Enterprise Act 2016 introduced the notion of damages for late payments of claims. The provision has not received much attention until now. With disputes continuing around payment of claims for business interruption, despite the recent Supreme Court decision in the FCA test case, many policyholders and their lawyers are threatening satellite litigation in seeking damages for late payment of claims. But what does the law say about late payment of claims? What tests does a policyholder need to satisfy to qualify for damages? How can we defend these claims? What can we learn from other jurisdictions? This webinar will seek to answer these questions and, through a review of the original Law Commission reports, provide background as to the intention of the law. This webinar will also provide views on how the challenges are likely to develop in the coming years as policyholders and their lawyers increasingly raise arguments seeking damages for late payment of claims.
