This session will review how the provision of civil authority coverage in many wordings may impact different loss scenarios. The key issues covered will be:

- policy exclusions
- endorsements
- the application of deductibles and waiting periods.
Attendees will benefit from a review of policy wording examples, applicable US case law which will be illustrated by a series of common hypothetical problems.
