Members of Essex Court Chambers continue to act in well-known insurance market disputes, including the Covid-19 business interruption cases, among others. Jeffrey Gruder KC is involved in Corbin and King v AXA Insurance, a Covid-19 test case where the High Court decided that these covers did not provide cover to policyholders in respect of business interruption loss caused by lockdowns. John Lockey KC, David Walsh and Helen Morton have also been involved in the Russian aviation litigation, a series of multibillion dollar insurance claims brought by international lessors and leased to Russian airlines when the Russian state effectively expropriated them after its invasion of Ukraine. Further to this, members have also been involved in a number of political risks and trade credit disputes both domestically and cross-border. David Peters KC was appointed as a silk earlier in 2024, while Paul Stanley KC and Mubarak Waseem are further key names from the set.
