2026 Reinsurance Case Law Update

Introduction

Reinsurance is of vital importance to the insurance industry. It enables risk to be spread over a wider range of participants than would otherwise be possible and it also enables insurers to participate in writing business that otherwise might not be accessible to them.

Recent major losses such as Covid have highlighted some of the continuing pressure points in reinsurance contracts and this webinar will address the recent case law on the topic.

• Recent cases on the aggregation of losses under treaty reinsurances including the first case on the meaning of 'catastrophe'
