Seth Jackson to Present at PLRB 2024 Western Regional Adjusters Conference
June 25, 2024Seth Jackson, a partner in Zelle’s Boston, MA office, will present “Code Enforcement Coverage in Commercial Cases” at the PLRB 2024 Western Regional Adjusters Conference on June 25-26, 2024, in Anaheim, CA. Seth will be joined in the presentation by Brandon Davis from J.S. Held LLC.
The session will analyze the pitfalls and hurdles involved with code upgrade coverage. The presenters will identify key language in different commercial property policies which may need to be addressed, the applicable governmental entities which may need to be conferred with, and the applicable codes and statutes that may need to be reviewed. The presenters will look at the key coverage forms including “ordinance or law” and “increased costs of construction”. The class will also evaluate different types of governmental orders which may trigger code coverage such as written or verbal orders. Specifically, the presenters will review what courts have considered an “enforcement” and whether a statement or action by a town official is required.
