Partner Mark Brookes introduced and acted as moderator of an international Insurance Law Global webinar.
This featured a panel of experts who compared and contrasted how damages are calculated in each of the following jurisdictions: Argentina, Australia, Italy, Spain, the UK and the USA.
More specifically, the panel discussed:
- How liability is apportioned between the culpable parties (including with a plaintiff for contributory negligence)
- Which party has the obligation to join additional parties
- And whether there are specialist courts in each of their jurisdictions, and whether damages are decided by judges or juries.
The webinar recording is available below.
