Gary Lidington acts for the third defendant in a Commercial Court insurance claim alleging wide-ranging negligence and breach of fiduciary and contractual duties brought by a German insurance company in respect of underwriting and claims management services provided by the defendants. Elizabeth Ovey acted for the defendant in proceedings following the death of the client’s wife, claiming that the defendant was instructed to arrange an annuity for his wife with a dependent’s pension for him if he survived her, but no such pension was established. William Moffett KC took silk in 2026.
