Novitas Loans Ltd v AmTrust Europe Ltd [2024] EWHC 3409 (Comm) (29 November 2024)
The Commercial Court refused disclosure of pre-inception communications sought to help construe a professional indemnity policy and define its cover.
Clause 8.2.6 of the policy does not provide cover for business interruption in the absence of physical damage as defined in the policy. The references to 'damage' are not a drafting mistake and must be given their natural meaning. The policy, read as a whole, only extends business interruption cover where there is physical damage, and there is no basis to rewrite the clause to provide non-damage cover.
Source excerpt
The initial outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan and the introduction into the UK were too remote to constitute a single occurrence for aggregation under the policy. The relevant occurrences for aggregation were the UK Government's actions and restrictions. Aggregation does not operate per insured location but collectively. Losses proximately caused by a covered event during the policy period are recoverable even if suffered after the period, subject to the maximum indemnity period.
