The increasingly complex COVID-19 business interruption legal battles, and their impact on insurer earnings, were the focus of this week’s Insurance News podcast.

The INsight panel also discussed just how long it could take to gain clarity on the issue, with experts warning it could be the end of next year before all hearings and associated appeals are concluded.

Hosted by Insurance News Managing Director Andrew Silcox, this week’s episode features the observations of Insurance News Publisher Terry McMullan, Managing Editor John Deex, and Deputy Editor Wendy Pugh.

The podcast also runs through analysts’ views on the results of the major listed insurers and brokers, what the word “advice” really means, and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s new immunity policy.

You can find a new episode of INsight published here every Wednesday.
