High Court holds that an Insolvency Exclusion applies in respect of a claim under the Third Parties (Rights Against Insurers) Act 1930 (“1930 Act”) and awards summary judgment accordingly but declines to provide much-needed guidance on insurers’ liability in the case of claims partially settled by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”).

The Western Cape High Court[1] has recently passed judgment in a decision which reiterates the bounds of the duties of directors of holding companies to subsidiary companies. Even though the case involved a damages claim against the liquidators of the holding company (in liquidation), the principle applies equally to directors.
