Result Of ECJ Gender Ruling Is Confusion.Com

With less than 12 months to go before the ECJ ruling on gender discrimination comes into effect, there is still a considerable amount of confusion and uncertainty in the market regarding how insurance companies should respond.

At a recent seminar hosted at our offices in London, we set out to explore the background to the ruling, analyse the legislation and consider how companies should best assess the risks that it presents.

Despite the uncertainty presented by the ECJ ruling, one fact remains clear: it will potentially impact millions of insurance policies worth billions of pounds, and there is a very real risk that insurance contracts could unravel if insurance companies interpret the ruling in the wrong way.
