AUDIENCE

Underwriters, claims & wordings personnel who transact Canadian business.

This masterclass, split into two parts, will provide attendees with an update on Canadian legal issues.

Part one: What’s New in Canada – The Peril of Fire

The speakers will examine if the peril of fire and losses caused by non-insured perils can be excluded from coverage on a property policy by discussing:

• is the peril of fire ‘inviolate’ in Canada?
• if a non-covered peril leads to a fire does the loss have to be paid?
• do you pay for a fire loss if there is a breach of condition or warranty? • what other perils cannot be removed from coverage?
• can you contract out of the provincial Insurance Act?

Part two: The Top Canadian Coverage Cases in 2016, 2017 and 2018, including:

• The Brick Warehouse LP v. Chubb Insurance Company of Canada, 2017 Alberta
• TD Bank v. Lloyd’s Underwriters, 2017 Ontario
