On 1 July 2025 the Supreme Court (Lords Briggs, Leggatt and Burrows) gave permission to appeal in Gatwick Investment Limited v Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe SE on the issue of whether insurers are entitled to deduct the value of furlough payments from Covid-19 business interruption payments to policyholders. This is an issue of market-wide significance relevant to all outstanding Covid-19 business interruption insurance claims. The appeal in the Court of Appeal was one of The Lawyer’s Top 10 Appeals of 2025.

Josephine Higgs KC, together with Jeffrey Gruder KC of Essex Court Chambers, instructed by Roger Franklin and Lauren Murphy of Edwin Coe LLP, continues to act for the Gatwick Investment claimants.
