A law firm is suing NIG for more than £200,000 over work for a claim from the Buncefield oil refinery explosion in 2005.

NIG agreed to pay out for a claim for shoe retailer Twinmar Holdings which suffered damage to its premises in the Buncefield oil blast, according to a High Court writ.

NIG was the subrogated insurer and employed Kennedy’s Law in February 2007 to claw back some of the costs from a third party.

Kennedys claims that NIG owes it £206,509.29 for unpaid invoices, plus interest and costs, according to a High Court writ.

The writ says: "In the premises, the defendant is indebted to the claimant in the sum of £206,509.29, but wrongfully and in breach of contract it has failed and refused to pay that amount or any part thereof, as a result of which the claimant has suffered and continues to suffer loss and damage."

Kennedys and NIG could not comment.
