Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE Appeal Court has unanimously upheld the decision of Mr Justice Saville on 13 May over the 'pay now, sue later' clauses in proceedings brought by Feltrim and Gooda Walker Names against their agents in the Lloyd's of London insurance market.
Lloyd's said yesterday it welcomed the thrust of the decision, which it said 'on the one hand leaves the Names free to assert any claims they have against their agents in respect of their conduct of the underwriting business, but on the other makes it clear that the 'pay now, sue later' clauses remain in place to ensure that funds can be collected promptly to meet underwriting liabilities'.
