The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) says the keenly anticipated judgement in the COVID-19 business interruption test case will be handed down next week and will be published on the FCA’s website on September 15th at 10.30am

The High Court hearings were held over eight days in July, ending with submissions made by the FCA, Hospitality Insurance Group Action, Hiscox Action Group and eight insurers who agreed to be part of the case.

The insurers involved are Arch, Argenta Syndicate Management, Ecclesiastical Insurance Office, Hiscox, MS Amlin, QBE, Royal & SunAlliance and Zurich.

The court will also decide whether an appeal will be allowed.
