February 2021 Our strong belief is that there are still many challenges to be made and overcome. “The Supreme Court has ‘come good’ and now its my right to get my money.” These emotionally charged words, uttered by a broker’s customer, perhaps best describe the sentiment amongst many SMEs. Sadly, even now, many of them will be disappointed that their particular claim does still not meet the cover threshold; for reasons that will be beyond their comprehension.
