The new agreement on individual rights and the model associated with it will allow the London skid to link all subscribers to risk if the airlines accept the agreement and clause at the time of the placement as a political concept. The Single Claims Agreement must allow “rapid and effective authorization of claims, By allowing political leaders to agree on non-complex payments of up to USD 250,000 [US$354,400] on behalf of the following airlines,” says a joint statement from the London-International Insurance Brokers` Association (LIIBA), Lloyd`s Market Association (LMA), International Underwriting Association (IUA) and Lloyd`s. Inga Beale, CEO of Lloyd`s, said: “In a competitive global sector, customers want and expect the London market to be easier to achieve. By making the most critical part of our commercial offer, the resolution of claims, simpler, it means that London can remain an attractive offer. Information, support and FAQs can be found on the London Market Group website www.londonmarketgroup.co.uk/scap. Developed as an inter-market initiative between LIIBA, LMA, IUA and Lloyd`s, SCAP is an important step in ensuring that the London market remains competitive. “The grinding community is pleased that we can move forward with the Single Claims Agreement as it will accelerate the liquidation, agreement and payment of small and medium losses in the London subscription market for the benefit of customers,” said Christopher Croft, CEO of LIIBA. SCAP is a contractual agreement that facilitates the quick and efficient approval of claims and delegates responsibility for processing a claim to the underpants leader, who must be a london market carrier. The Single Claims Agreement Party (SCAP) is a London market initiative to facilitate the payment of lower values (US$250,000 or less) if there are several London contractors. Under the existing lloyd`s claims regime, the following unions are already bound by economist Lloyd`s Underwriter`s decision for “standard” fees in a defined class of business thresholds generally below $250,000. However, a lead-agreement model is not typical of the business market, he said, and each IUA carrier has contractual rights in the requirement on its part. Participation in a single agreement is optional and will be reviewed by brokers and carriers at the time of the offering. This will significantly simplify the claims process, which will facilitate activity in the London market, reduce the costs of brokers and carriers, and could result in significant savings. Insurance policyholders will see efficiencies in the claims process and will eventually experience a more fluid and faster payment of existing claims (within the SCAP limit).
