The Impact of COVID-19 on Claims: Managing Risk in a New World – From an Irish Perspective
£15.00
Description
The Covid-19 emergency response measures introduced will have a significant impact on ongoing litigation. In this webinar, we outline some issues for insurers to keep alive to when reviewing existing and prospective claims. As there is an ever increasing risk that co-defendants could fall insolvent, this in turn could give rise to a situation whereby insured defendants get caught with the 1% rule as was very common during and after the last recession. Given that tough economic times lie ahead, plaintiffs will obviously look to the better mark for damages to meet the award, as has happened so much in the past.

CIOB Conservation Conference
New ideas for tough times
The theme of this year's annual conference is balancing conservation needs against rising costs. It is ideal for professionals involved in historic or traditional buildings as well as homeowners who are embarking on their own project.
We have drawn together leading experts from the UK and Europe who will give delegates the inside track on how these projects were successfully delivered and how they can apply what was learned to their own decision making.
