AI confidence in this overview: medium
This is a dispute about the scope of cover under a commercial combined insurance policy following an incident on 5 April 2009 when tenants stripped out and damaged shop premises. The central issue was which losses were recoverable under the policy (including whether the loss was “malicious” damage and whether loss of rent was covered). The judge found most losses resulted from the tenants' breaches and were not covered, allowed three months' loss of rent at £7,500, and entered judgment for the claimants in the sum of £15,750 (with interest to be addressed later).
