Westerberg & Partners acts for the insurer Gjensidige Forsikring in litigation arising from a coverage dispute concerning a business interruption insurance policy. On 11 April 2022, the Stockholm Court of Appeal upheld a ruling by a lower court dismissing the policy holder’s claim against Gjensidige. The court of appeal held that Covid19-based government restrictions, imposing a nationwide limit on the number of guests per square meter in restaurants and night clubs as well as restricting service to sitting guests only, did not trigger the insurance policy.
