Andrew Fletcher KC and Adam Kramer KC write Practice Note on causation in insurance contract law

Andrew Fletcher KC and Adam Kramer KC have produced a practice note summarising causation in general insurance contract law, which covers issues that arose in the business interruption insurance test case and subsequent cases. The note explains the principle of proximate cause, the findings of the Supreme Court in Financial Conduct Authority v Arch Insurance (UK) Ltd and others [2021] UKSC 1 relating to causation where there are multiple concurrent causes of loss and the relevance of causation when calculating the insurance indemnity.
