Over the last years a large number of EU insurers have incorporated a branch office in Spain.

KPMG Run-Off Survey - Non-Life Insurance 2008 |
October 2008
"This valuable survey is now something of an institution. Observers of the legacy insurance and reinsurance market (and it is indeed a market, with an ever-increasing volume of trading in its commodities) have charted, through its meticulous and detailed annual analysis of the volume and characteristics of discontinued UK non-life business, the waxing and now the apparent waning of the run-off sector. For a view of the history of UK run-off, an analysis of its current state and an educated look at future trends, the KPMG Run-Off Survey – Non-Life is without rival".

Chairman, ARC

TCF Survey Report Sept 2008 |
Is the insurance industry treating its customers fairly?
The FSA's Treating Customers Fairly regime is a fixed topic on the agendas of authorised insurance firms. Having met March's target of generating management information, the next regulatory hurdle for firms is to be able to demonstrate that customers are consistently treated fairly; a target that needs to be met by December 2008.
The insurance market is working hard to ensure the December deadline is met. Moore Stephens believes insurance firms will benefit from benchmarking their TCF implementation.

Client Alert - September 2008
Many US institutions and authorities have long seen a service of suit clause as a mechanism by which the reinsurer agrees to submit to any court of competent jurisdiction in the US to provide a legal basis for the enforcement of arbitration awards. For the purposes of gaining US jurisdiction against the reinsurer, they are also required to name an agent to accept process service. This ensures that even though the insurer may not be licensed in most states in the US, a US Court will have personal jurisdiction over them. However, parties often come into dispute over the application of such clauses.
