Judgment of the High Court in the case 2023/5909P dated 14 June 2024
High Court
- Decision summary
- The High Court referred Michael Flatley's dispute with Hiscox concerning insurance coverage for Castlehyde to arbitration under the policy's arbitration clause. It rejected the arguments that the clause was an unfair, legally ungoverned, non-transparent, unclear, or bad-faith consumer-contract term, and held that the scope of the claims under the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 renewals was for the arbitrator to determine.
