Welcome to September’s edition of the newly re-branded ‘Insurance Insights: The Word’.
Whilst you may notice a slightly new look and feel, ‘Insurance Insights: The Word’ contains the usual mix of recent news stories and legal developments of relevance to policy wording professionals and underwriters that we have previously published as ‘The Word’.
Over the coming months you will see regular bulletins across various lines of business and insurance industry specialisms under the banner of ‘Insurer Insights’, including regular publications focusing on financial lines, the London Market, property and casualty, and medical malpractice. Please do keep a look out for our other Insurance Insights publications that may be of interest.
In this month’s Insurance Insights: The Word, we take a look at a variety of topics, including:
- the new Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act,
- the latest research on incidents involving e-bikes and e-scooters,
- issues for insurers arising from the growth in the use of electric vehicles for bi-directional charging,
- the rise in GPS-spoofing and the impact for marine business,
- policy drafting issues including the use of jargon, and recent award success for our innovative policy wordings services,
- repeated vandalism targets London’s retailers.
I hope you find this edition interesting and insightful,
Tim
