Only one insurer heeds call to pay disruption cover as deadline looms

Pressure is building on insurers to honour valid business interruption claims in light of last week's ruling against FBD.

Only one insurance firm has so far agreed to pay out Covid-linked business interruption cover to restaurants, ahead of a deadline set for tomorrow.

Hiscox Ireland has heeded a plea from the Restaurants Association of Ireland (RAI) to pay insurance to cover business losses brought about by the Covid crisis.
