Riot can be distinguished from the other excluded violent acts in that, from a practical point of view, it is more frequently covered by ARPI policies, either in the main policy or by way of an extension. It also is limited to internal strife without any necessity for political overtones. It is for this reason, namely that it has less of the characteristics of war and perhaps a greater connection with other criminal offences, that...more
The key to the definition of riot is that the elements of riot must occur at or about the same time. It is not, for example, sufficient for the violence to have been perpetrated by differing individuals at differing places at differing times and the violence must be threatened in the course of fulfilling the combined intention of the rioters, not subsequent to the occurrence or in the course of escape. Finally, the Public Order Act...more
Rebellion and insurrectionThe court relied upon the definition of rebellion as described in the Oxford English Dictionary as: "Organised resistance to the ruler or government of one's. country; insurrection, revolt." Although there may be a lesser degree of organisation required of insurrection, both required a motivation which included the overturning of the government in situ. The circumstances in Lebanon did not constitute either an insurrection or rebellion. There is a possibility you may ask yourself: "Did the intent to override the government depend upon some objective test (for example, whether there is any likelihood of the action succeeding in overthrowing the government) or did it merely require the active parties concerned to subjectively hold that intention? There is no English authority, but certainly the Pan American Case suggested that it was the subjective intention of the activist which was in fact important. Hostilities and warlike operationsSo far as hostilities are concerned, they would probably include: - the operations of war committed by combatants; - the operations of war in the course of a civil war; and - possibly an organised armed...more

If you have a commercial building insurance, your policy will contain a clause known as "the average clause". Whilst there are many clauses, conditions and warranties within every policy, some are more important than others. The average clause, as many have found out, is one of the more important ones. The chances are, that even if you have read your policy wording, or reviewed it, this clause is not one that you have heard of. So what exactly does it mean? The average, or reinstatement clause, simply states that you need to insure for the correct amount. Unlike houses and cars, insurers do not have unlimited statistics that say how much it will cost to replace a commercial building. If you think about your family car. If it is a 2004 Ford Galaxy, with 50,000 miles, then it will not take long to find out how much it would cost to buy an equivalent model. So, whilst you are asked to declare the value of the car at quote stage, this does not really affect things. But, when you are talking about business insurance, things are different. We do not have scales, or levels of cover. You need to state exactly how much a building would cost to re-instate fully. If you have a...more
