The above news may be welcoming to some policyholders, however the majority of UK businesses will still find that their business interruption cover will not provide cover.  The above court case only applies to certain policies which in most cases inadvertently included an element of cover.  It is likely that affected policyholders will have already had contact from their insurer.

IFM will continue to monitor the situation as more information on the judgement becomes clear.
