Crown Office Chambers is noted as being the ‘go-to set for coverholders’ within the insurance and reinsurance sector, with members of the set routinely instructed by top tier firms in the space. Andrew Rigney KC‘s practice encompasses both domestic and international cases, and has been on the forefront in the Supreme Court in the FCA Covid-19 business interruption test cases, while Isabel Hitching KC was successful both at first instance and in the Court of Appeal in the case Allianz Insurance Plc v University of Exeter which dealt with the applicability of war exclusion clauses to damage occurring after the end of a war, and is now the leading case on the meaning of proximate cause in the war risk context – the case concerned an unexploded WWII-era bomb, which, during an otherwise successful controlled explosion, caused damage to a university hall of residence. Caroline McColgan stands out for her specialism in warranty and indemnity insurance and for her involvement in the FCA Test case. Hamish Fraser and Toby Chandler are names to watch.
