SUMMARY:Unnecessary and Insufficient Factual Causes
DESCRIPTION:Unnecessary and Insufficient Factual Causes\nIn-person event \nSydney Law School at the University of Sydney and King & Wood Mallesons are proud to be presenting a seminar with Professor Jane Stapleton. The Law School welcomes the appointment of Professor Jane Stapleton as Honorary Professor of the University of Sydney. \nAbout the seminar \nIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic\, the UK Government decided to take swingeing lock-down measures in March 2020 which resulted in billions of dollars of business interruption loss to hundreds of thousands of enterprises in that country. In a landmark 2021 decision concerning insurance cover for such losses a unanimous UK Supreme Court confirmed that the law recognises that an unnecessary and insufficient factor may be a factual cause of an indivisible loss. \nThe talk\, presented by Honorary Professor Jane Stapleton (University of Sydney) will describe the revolutionary procedure deployed in the case\, how the Justices’ insightful introduction of non-insurance cases and commentary was crucial to the crafting of their decision and how profound an impact that decision may have across the landscape of the law. \nThe event will be chaired by the Honourable Justice Julie Ward\, President of the Court of Appeal\, Supreme Court of New South Wales. \nAbout the speakers\nJane Stapleton KC (Hon)\, FBA \nJane Stapleton is an Honorary Professor at the University of Sydney Law School and has held academic posts at Oxford\, the University of Texas and the Australian National University as well as a number of visiting professorships including at Cambridge\, Harvard\, Columbia and the European University Institute.
