In another win for restaurants and accommodation owners, Guardrisk has decided to adhere to the decision of the Supreme Court of Appeal in favour of Cafe Chameleon, one of the establishments that took it to court for failing to pay out its business interruption insurance claim.
According to the judgment, the infectious disease clause did indeed cover government’s imposition of a lockdown in response to multiple outbreaks of a “notifiable disease”, Covid-19, throughout the country and predominantly in Cape Town where Cafe Chameleon operates. “While we are encouraged by Guardrisk’s commitment to fulfilling its contractual obligation with its clients, we are aware that they are reluctant payers and are likely to be aggressive in their determination of the amounts. In this next crucial step in the process, we are determined to ensure our clients see justice done and receive the fair compensation due to them,” says Ryan Woolley, chief executive officer of ICA.
