The Word, January 2024
29 January 2024
In the first edition of The Word for 2024, we delve into recent updates, such as the developments by insurers in the algorithmic underwriting space and the FCA's discussion on Premium Finance.
Featuring articles on recent judgments across the world, we address clear and unambiguous exclusions within policy wordings and the standards expected of manufacturers in the renewable energy sector.
After the National Audit Office's report '‘Financial services regulation: Adapting to change’, we take a look into the recommendations that this brings for the FCA.
Finally, following recent concerns at Sellafield, we highlight the risks and considerations for insurers associated with insuring nuclear facilities.
We hope you find this edition insightful and we look forward to bringing you further articles this year.
