The Word, August 2025
28 August 2025
For our August edition of The Word we cover a range of topics of interest from across the insurance sector.
In light of recent events, we take a look at Lutz v Ryanair and what the latest case on agency workers means for EPL insurers.
We also consider:
- What lessons insurers can learn from the template binder update and profit commission clauses.
- Admiral setting aside £50m for customer compensation.
- The impact of The Arbitration Act 2025.
- Aon calling for a national AI regulation framework.
- Questions insurers may wish to ask about their clients' AI usage.
Finally, we have collaborated with Ordnance Survey on an article on how their use of geospatial data assists insurers, including in the move away from traditional proposal forms towards analysing risk based on more dynamic risk modelling.
We hope you find this edition informative and insightful.
