Run-off buyer’s Malta operation to absorb closed company’s business
Run-off buyer Randall & Quilter’s Maltese unit has agreed to reinsure all the outstanding contracts written by a closed UK solicitors’ professional indemnity (PI) insurer.
SIMIA is a mutual insurer whose sole business was providing PI to solicitors in England and Wales. It stopped writing new or renewal business in 2011.
In addition to reinsuring SIMIA’s liabilities, R&Q plans to shift the SIMIA business to its Maltese operation, R&Q Insurance Malta, using a Part VII transfer, subject to regulatory approval. This will remove the liabilities from SIMIA’s books.
R&Q chief executive Ken Randall said: “This demonstrates the ability of R&Q to provide exit solutions from legacy insurance liabilities to all types of companies.”
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.
