Manchester Disease Breakfast Briefing: Holmes v Poeton: Material Contribution in Practice

Summary

We are delighted to invite you to the first of our ‘Disease Briefings: Breakfast Sessions’ series held in Manchester entitled ‘Holmes v Poeton: Material Contribution in Practice’.

Agenda

This session will focus upon the application of material contribution in practice, including:

• Practical and evidential hurdles in claims for indivisible disease.
• Implications for claims involving divisible conditions.
• Challenges in multi-defendant claims.
• Causation issues in claims involving multiple agents: does the Wilsher principle still apply?
• Apportionment of damages.
• Likely impact on policy triggers and policy coverage.

Whether you're a legal professional, broker, insurer, or simply interested in the evolving landscape of liability law, this session offers valuable insights and stimulating discussions. Join us for coffee and pastries as we explore these critical topics.

We will also be running similar sessions throughout the year, focusing on other important updates and developments in and relevant to the field of occupational disease.

We look forward to welcoming you to this event and many more in the future. To register your interest in both the upcoming London and Manchester briefings, please complete the form here.
