1. Financial Aftermath of The COVID BI Coverage Test Case/Financial Impact of Widespread floods 

22 February 2023 

Speakers: Gareth Horne (Partner), Leah Hewish (Special Counsel)

Overview: Clyde & Co partner Gareth Horne and special counsel Leah Hewish discuss the financial impact on the insurance industry of the Australian COVID-19 business interruption (BI) insurance coverage test case decided by the Courts in 2022 and the widespread floods experienced across Australia.

Having represented insurers in the COVID-19 BI coverage test case, Gareth and Leah provide insights from that decision, as well as the international experience, relevant to the financial and claims handling implications of COVID-19. They also look at how that experience has influenced the industry’s response to other catastrophe events, including the 2022 Australian floods.

Speakers: Brigitte Gasson (Senior Associate), Stuart Lloyd (Senior Associate)

This in-person session covers:

• the industries we are seeing becoming increasingly attractive targets for cyber criminals and why;
• what we’ve been seeing – incident trends, regulatory developments and real-world case studies; and
