The City of Stockholm wins insurance dispute before Svea Court of Appeal
On 17 November 2021, Svea Court of Appeal has ruled that the City of Stockholm is entitled to insurance cover from its several insurers for claims for damages directed at the City of Stockholm in connection with the City of Stockholm’s construction of the new Slussen area in Stockholm. The dispute concerned several fundamental issues of insurance law, such as the fortuity principle, the issue of whether the insured event has occurred or has been caused during the insurance period, and the issue of deliberately caused losses.
The City of Stockholm was represented by Mannheimer Swartling.
