The English High Court yesterday sanctioned closure schemes of arrangement for The Orion Insurance Company PLC and The London and Overseas Insurance Company PLC, paving the way for the closure of these complex and long-running insolvencies stemming from 1994.
Speaking today, Hogan Lovells partner Joe Bannister said:
With the Insurance Act 2015 receiving Royal Assent on 12 February 2015, we take a look at the consequential amendments to the Third Parties (Rights Against Insurers) Act 2010 (the “2010 Act”). These amendments were aimed at rectifying the failure to include certain insolvency circumstances in the original 2010 Act (which due to these defects was not brought into force after Royal Assent) and it is hoped that the act may finally come into effect by autumn 2015.
