Many businesses have been impacted by COVID-19 and all should have business insurance, but the big question this last few months has been do they have business interruption cover in that policy and can a claim be made to cover the losses that have been sustained?

A huge test case was decided at the back end of 2020, but that decision was appealed by the insurers involved and this month the Court made a decision on that appeal.

This episode sees solicitor, Jonathan Field review that decision, the points that were considered and the subsequent implications.
