EVENT: Selig v Wealthsure - proportionate liability reviewed (again!) |
| Summary |
The High Court has recently delivered judgment in Selig v Wealthsure, essentially finding that the apportionment of liability provisions of the relevant acts only apply to contraventions of those acts and not to other forms of breaches, exposing deep pocketed defendants and their insurers to the entirety of adverse judgments. The Court also ordered costs against the non-party insurer which should serve as a warning to insurers who wish to assume conduct of trials and appeals on behalf of their insureds.
It is integral that lawyers and insurance professionals have a thorough understanding of the proportionate liability regime and the impact a decision like Selig v Wealthsure is likely to have on risk transfer strategies, claims management and reserving.
Please join us for this presentation with barrister Kevin Holyoak who will provide an outline of the decision and its implications on the broader proportionate liability regime.
