abstract: It is with great pleasure that I accept the invitation to submit a 2024
review of developments in insurance law in the United Kingdom
(“UK”). In typically English lawyer fashion, I start with apologies, a
qualification and a disclaimer: first, I would like to proffer my apologies for writing in English as my legal German is unlikely to meet the
high standards of the Zeitschrift VersR. Secondly, whilst statutes and
regulations in the field of insurance tend to apply to all four constituent
parts of the UK in broadly the same way, there are different common
law systems for (1) England and Wales, (2) Scotland, and (3) Northern
Ireland. Case law emerging from the English courts does not set precedents for the Scottish and Northern Irish courts, and vice versa. Although the title promises insights on “UK insurance law”, my focus will
be on English cases and UK insurance regulation. Thirdly, 2024 has
been an unusually case-rich year largely due to a continuing stream of
Covid-19 cases, and has seen a flood of new regulatory instruments and
initiatives following Brexit. Accordingly, it is necessary to be brief and
selective.
