Axa Versicherung Ag v Arab Insurance Group [2017] EWCA Civ 96, [2017] All ER (D) 46 (Mar)

The Court of Appeal dismissed the claimant reinsurer’s appeal against the judge’s decision that it was not established that its underwriter, to whom an unfair presentation of the risk had been made, had failed to establish that he would have declined the risk if a fair presentation had been made to him by the defendant. It was not established the judge had been plainly wrong and the judge’s scepticism had not been unfair either to the underwriter or claimant.
