Duty to Insurers Considered

 Prompt Disclosure to Insurers
Shinedean Ltd v Alldown Demolition (London) Ltd (in liquidation)
and another
CA
20 June 2006
Daily Law Notes Report Summary
The question whether an insured had provided information to his
insurer within a reasonable time, in compliance with a claims
cooperation condition in an indemnity insurance policy, was a
question of fact depending on all the circumstances in each
particular case. There was no absolute principle that prejudice to
the insurer was a factor to be either included or excluded in that
assessment, and there was no rule that such a condition could not
be broken unless the insurer had suffered prejudice from the
failure.
