Coronavirus - The Supreme Court has ruled that some Business Interruption policies must pay for losses due to COVID-19, does this mean that I am covered after all?
Churchill insurance policies were not included in the FCA's test case and are not impacted by the outcome of the Supreme Court ruling on business interruption. Our standard commercial policies provide cover for business interruption for a list of specified diseases. In addition, any claim for denial of access requires there to have been physical damage to property in order for the policy to provide cover. Regarding any potential claims for closure by a public authority, there's an exclusion for infectious or contagious disease. Consequently, irrespective of the Supreme Court ruling, there is no cover for business interruption for the COVID-19 pandemic.
The FCA website has useful information on the outcome of the FCA Test Case and Supreme Court ruling on Business Interruption.
