- Business interruption insurance, especially relating to the COVID pandemic, and the FCA and leading insurers establishing new points of causation, which will have wider repercussions in the law
- Travel claims arising from cancellations caused or influenced by COVID and the ensuing controversy and complications
- Insurable interest, the relatively new duty of disclosure, and the ever complex and shifting area of motor insurance
- The financial ombudsman service and it's recent decisions in relation to what is "fair and reasonable".
Also new to this edition is the contribution of Michael Mendelowitz, who consulted with the author in the preparation of the book. He has brought his experience to bear across the text, especially in areas relating to commercial insurance, where he has great practical experience.
