The judgment appealed concerned a number of preliminary issues in six expedited test cases heard in succession between 24 April and 4 May 2023. The claims were made in 6 separate actions in respect of business interruption (“BI”) losses allegedly suffered by a number of different policyholders.

The policyholders in each test case claim to have suffered significant BI losses as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Each policyholder had a form of ‘at the premises’ or “ATP” disease cover in their BI insurance policy.
