 The Kuwait Aviation Losses - One Event or Two?
M.A.Scott-v-Copenhagen Re the learned Judge decided that the loss of a British Airways 747 jet in the 1991 Allied conflict with Iraq could not be aggregated into one excess of loss reinsurance claim with the plundered Kuwait Airways Corporation aircraft and spares.
Firstly the timing and secondly the causes of the losses were different: the KAC losses were caused by the capture of the airport on August 2, but at that stage the BA aircraft was not lost: one had to "wait and see" what happened to it after a reasonable time.
Issues relating to recovery of interest on the KAC spares and proof of loss remain a concern for some of the market but this decision should facilitate a consensus on the treatment of the Kuwait aviation losses and, perhaps, other large spiral losses such as Exxon Valdez.
