What's in a name?

A judge has found that insurers were liable to indemnify an insured despite its insurance policy specifying the incorrect name.

The case relates to 'The George in Rye' pub which was damaged by a fire in July 2019. While the named insured was “George on High Ltd t/a The George in Rye”, a separate company (George on Rye Ltd (GoR)) owned the restaurant and hotel business operating in the property.

In the spring of 2010, BioSyntech, a start-up biotechnology company, developing a cartilage-repair product, BST-Car Gel, filed a Notice of Intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. In the subsequent bankruptcy proceedings, the intellectual property relating to the BST-Car Gel was sold.
