The Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 will come into force on 1 August 2016, replacing the current legislation (which dates from 1930) and providing for a less complex procedure for a third party claimant to claim directly against the insurer of an insolvent individual or corporate defendant. The new law will improve the position of third parties with claims against insolvent assureds. For more information see our insurance and reinsurance disputes team's e-bulletin.
