BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

A federal court in Karlsruhe, Germany, ruled that insurers are not automatically liable for insurance payouts to restaurants and hotels for the loss of business due to the COVID-19 lockdowns, Reinsurance News reported citing NDR and Handelsblatt. The ruling comes after a German restaurant sued France-based Axa S.A. for refusing to compensate for lockdown-related business loss in 2020 under a policy for business closures.
