“Prior to Covid, the family had prudently bought expensive insurance policies with NFU Mutual to cover this risk, which senior leadership at the insurer are continuing to seek to escape despite repeated judgments in the court making that increasingly untenable.”says it has recently issued and served group action proceedings on behalf of an initial group of 37 affected businesses against NFU Mutual relating to unpaid Covid-19 business interruption clams.
