Lloyd's in Crisis - The Insurance Scandal of the Twentieth Century

Edmund Lester

Maison d'édition: whitefox Publishing Ltd

Synopsis

As the leading insurance market in the world, Lloyd's of London was highly respected for its underwriting expertise and prestigious reputation - until it became embroiled in a scandal of catastrophic consequences in the late 1980s. This is the inside story of one of the most merciless insurance battles in British commercial history; a story of suspected fraud, misinformation, negligence and incompetence.
When Syndicate 418 voided a major reinsurance contract held by Marine Syndicate 334, it precipitated devastating losses and personal tragedy for many of 334's members. Facing potential financial ruin from skyrocketing asbestosis, pollution and DES claims, desperate Names banded together to enter a tumultuous legal fight that spanned a decade. As their Association fought for justice, the true extent of corporate malfeasance and institutional failings came to light. Against a backdrop of escalating legal disputes, regulatory interventions and financial turmoil, tensions rose and took their toll - families were torn apart, fortunes shattered and lives lost.
Lloyd's in Crisis offers a sobering account of the inner workings of the insurance industry and the profound human cost of corporate negligence. Meticulously researched and incredibly insightful, this is an unprecedented glimpse into Lloyd's of London's most notorious chapter; a pivotal time in the evolution of the Lloyd's market and the struggle for capital and accountability that still reverberates for its Names today.

The Army on the March - While encamping the army and observing signs of the enemy, pass quickly over mountains, and keep in the neighborhood of valleys. All armies prefer high ground to low and sunny places to dark."If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." ― Sun Tzu, The Art of WarSun Tzu wrote this classic book twenty-five hundred years ago, on a military strategy based on Chinese warfare and military thought.
