Covid-19: RSA faces legal action in BI dispute
RSA is latest provider in firing line as nursery sector hits out and, separately, a new action group, Insurance Justice, has been set up to defend BI claims for businesses.
A group of businesses in the childcare provision sector is mulling legal action against RSA after the provider denied to pay business interruption claims arising from Covid-19.
The businesses bought their policies through the Early Years Alliance, an early years membership association in England, and the packages were underwritten by RSA.
Simon Sloane, partner, dispute resolution at Fieldfisher, told Insurance Age around 40 businesses are part of the group looking to take action.
