The committee reviewed feedback from the recent LMA effectiveness survey, which highlighted a preference for more expert-led sessions. Members were encouraged to suggest topics and external speakers, with a potential presentation from a hail model litigation team under consideration. Discussions also touched on regional claims trends, including Nat Cat exposures in the Middle East and upcoming talks in Dubai. Attention turned to the LEG 2/96 clauses, where concerns were raised about outdated definitions and the need for revisions. A working group was formed to explore updates, mindful of the broader implications across construction and power generation. Parallel discussions addressed the nuances of excess versus deductible language, with claims teams keen to collaborate on clarifying guidance. Claims updates included recent wind and hailstorm incidents in Texas, Cyclone Garance’s impact on Réunion and Mauritius and severe tornado activity across several US states. These events prompted calls to revisit the hailstorm definition. Market issues ranged from flood buffer zones to survey reporting delays.
