- HCA46/2007
On proper construction of the policies SARS became a notifiable disease on 27 March 2003 (date it was made mandatorily notifiable under Cap.141); coverage under clause 14.5 therefore commenced on 27 March 2003 (subject to the 5-day time excess); where businesses did not cease the Loss Period is limited to 180 days; Standard Revenue is calculated including pre-27 March 2003 effects as defined by clause 13.4; the policies are composite so the HK$100,000 claims preparation cost limit applies to each plaintiff separately.
