Broker’s negligence claims relating to liability policies do not require actual liability (Norman Hay Marsh Ltd)

The Court of Appeal ruled on a reverse summary judgment/strike‑out bid in a negligence claim against a broker. It centred on ‘non‑owned auto’ cover—motor liability insurance for hired vehicles. Marsh challenged the refusal of its application on two bases: (i) there was no pleaded actual liability, said to be required before an insured can claim under a liability policy; and (ii) the alleged losses were barred as reflective loss.
