I’ve read a lot of commercial restaurant / business policies (think spa, bars, etc)and I’ve yet to see one that specifically includes or excludes infectious disease while this covid is definitely affecting them.


Are you frickin serious??

For who?? and you might want to brush up a bit more.

But let me help you out.

This is taken from one of my commercial policies and that shite is plain as day.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY CP 01 40 07 06

THIS ENDORSEMENT CHANGES THE POLICY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

CP 01 40 07 06 Copyright ISO Properties, Inc., 2006 Page

1 of 1
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY COVERAGE PART STANDARD PROPERTY POLICY
A. The exclusion set forth in Paragraph
B. applies to all coverage under all forms and endorsements that comprise this Coverage Part or Policy, including but not limited to forms or endorsements that cover property damage to buildings or personal property and forms or endorsements that cover business income, extra expense or action of civil authority.
B. We will not pay for loss or damage caused by or resulting from any virus, bacterium or other microorganism that induces or is capable of inducing physical distress, illness or disease. However, this exclusion does not apply to loss or damage caused by or resulting from "fungus", wet rot or dry rot. Such loss or damage is addressed in a separate exclusion in this Coverage Part or Policy.
C. With respect to any loss or damage subject to the exclusion in Paragraph B., such exclusion supersedes any exclusion relating to "pollutants".
D. The following provisions in this Coverage Part or Policy are hereby amended to remove reference to bacteria:
1. Exclusion of "Fungus", Wet Rot, Dry Rot And Bacteria; and
2. Additional Coverage - Limited Coverage for "Fungus", Wet Rot, Dry Rot And Bacteria, including any endorsement increasing the scope or amount of coverage.
E. The terms of the exclusion in Paragraph B., or the inapplicability of this exclusion to a particular loss, do not serve to create coverage for any loss that would otherwise be excluded under this Coverage

Watching Sky News Chancellor of the Exchequer just announced UK govt declarations would suffice for all UK hospitality firms to make insurance claims. Wonder if that has any bearing on the matter w/ Lloyd's being UK based? Doubtful but maybe sets some basis for how to handle situation elsewhere.

On event cancellation policies, you can get infectious disease coverage as an add on.
Llyods started excluding Coronavirus in cancellation policies in early January because they took such a big hit in Asia. F1 Race, Hong Kong Art Show, etc.

Can't answer to that. The ISO forms we use here are the same there, but legal precedent could be different there. I can only speak to what we're seeing here and the insane # of conference calls I've had recently regarding this very matter.

Well Oceana is being represented by John Houghtaling who has a pretty impressive record (enough success to own the Brown mansion) and certainly is several notches above PI mills. Lloyd's is represented by Zelle--not a bad firm by any means but JH has litigated against and prevailed against better. Not sure you're going to see the dragging you envision.
