RSA Sues Insurer Over Tower Block Repair Costs
Law360, London (May 13, 2021, 4:37 PM BST) Royal & Sun Alliance has sued another insurer in London for failing to contribute to the £6 million ($8.4 million) cost of repairing an apartment block in northern England after design defects led to chunks of cladding falling off.
RSA and the construction company, G&J Seddon Ltd., sued Axis Specialty Europe Ltd. and Axis Specialty Europe SE at the High Court on May 4 in connection with repair works on several apartment blocks in Wigan, Greater Manchester. RSA was forced to indemnify Seddon after rendering fell off one of the tower blocks in 2013, sparking complaints from residents.
