The case was complicated by the need for the inherited assets to be distributed among the heirs under the will and the enforced heirs by law, as well as by the assets including shares and participation interests in Russian entities, over which fiduciary management was to be established; advising a high net worth individual on the Forbes list on establishing and operating a trust; advising the UBO of Russia’s biggest health clinic on succession and inheritance structuring and possible sale (partial sale) of the business, as well as relevant documents.

English Court decides Covid-19 is a “catastrophe”
The English Court has, for the first time, considered the meaning of a “catastrophe”, as well as how Hours Clauses work in the context of non-damage business interruption losses claimed under two Property Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance Treaties. While the Covid-19 pandemic may feel like a distant memory to some, disputes about the recovery of Covid-19 losses continue to trouble many reinsureds and reinsurers. The two key issues considered by the Commercial Court in determining appeals from arbitration awards made in Unipol Re v Covéa and Markel v Gen Re may bring welcome, and valuable, guidance to those in the reinsurance industry debating these terms.
Those underwriting or purchasing “catastrophe” covers may also want to carefully consider this judgment and whether the Court’s approach to the meaning of that word aligns with their coverage expectations.
