A turkey farm is suing insurer AXA for £238,000 after losing 15% of its Christmas turkeys after a flood.
AXA refused to pay out because it said its policy did not cover flood or business interruption.
Feathers were ruffled when heavy rain spoiled a compressor causing a rise in temperature that affected 15% of turkey carcases awaiting delivery last Christmas.
