Welcome to DACB Dublin’s Fifth Annual Insurance Law Year in Review

As we begin our journey into 2024, it is crucial to reflect on the significant legal milestones and developments that shaped the landscape of insurance law in 2023, both in Ireland and throughout the EU. DACB Dublin's fifth annual edition of the Insurance Law Year in Review captures the multitude of changes and pivotal moments that influenced insurance practices, particularly in Specialist Insurance, Healthcare, Injury Risk, and Cyber & Data.

 

Key Highlights of 2023:

  • Litigation Funding and Collective Action: Discussions surrounding litigation funding and collective action took centre stage in industry discourse, highlighting concerns regarding fairness and access to justice.
  • Court Clarifications: The courts provided much-needed clarity on issues such as adjudication, arbitration, costs, and damages, contributing to a better understanding of these legal matters.
  • Occupier's Liability and Legal Revisions: Amendments to Occupier's Liability laws reflected ongoing efforts to strike a balance between rights and responsibilities. Furthermore, the full implementation of the Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act marked a significant advancement in safeguarding the rights of individuals with impaired decision-making abilities.

Looking Ahead:

We have condensed the most important updates from throughout 2023 in this publication for Underwriters, Claims Handlers and those who are involved in Irish claims, so you can look ahead to all that 2024 has in store.
