Members of Gatehouse Chambers have extensive expertise working on behalf of reinsurers, insurers, and assureds regarding policy coverage. They frequently act on all kinds of insurance policies, including bespoke wording and standard forms, and they cover all kinds of liability insurance. Paul Reed KC acts on Sky Broadcasting Ltd, Mace Ltd v Insurers, where Sky UK sought compensation for all damages, including those that occurred after the insurance period, due to a leaky roof at its headquarters.  Simon Kerry and David Pliener KC represented Butlins in a clame after extremely high rainfall caused flooding, necessitating the closure of its Minehead site - at issue was if the claim was encapsulated by a storm sublimit.
