This is a new and additional event set up in respect of the member survey.

Presentations to include:

• Andy Ward (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) with an update on Solvency II - what stage is it at; what happens next, and what is the impact to run-off carriers? ARC, via Paul Corver, will be outlining a possible iniative in this regard.
• Mark Everiss / Richard Hopley (EAPD LLP) address the question 'where are we with the asbestos EL trigger litigation?' As well as 'What is the likely outcome of the insurers' challenge to the Scottish Parliament overturning the decision of the House of Lords on pleural plaques and can we expect to see some action in this area in England & Wales? What are the implications for the London insurance and reinsurance Market?  

Assisting on the panel, in addition to Paul Corver, will be Rhydian Williams (RI-Solve) providing his usual insightful observations on these matters and other topical subjects.
