The LSW169A clause was acknowledged as outdated but still functional, particularly for non-US business. A sub-group was formed to explore updates to both the general liability wording and LSW169A.The Marcel exception case in Louisiana was flagged for further review. Climate-related liability was also considered, especially in light of the proposed Superfund initiative.
