A US federal bankruptcy judge has approved asbestos insurance settlement agreements between two bankrupt units of Halliburton and more than 150 London and US based insurers.

The agreements, combined with earlier insurance settlements, will provide $1.5 billion in cash to trust funds for asbestos claimants of Halliburton's DII Industries and Kellogg, Brown & Root subsidiaries.

Halliburton said it expects to fund the trusts by the end of January 2005.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
