Altrincham Hope To Win Business Interruption Claim

Like most other clubs in the National Leagues, Altrincham have lost money because of the Covid pandemic.

However they are hoping that their insurer Axa might yet pay out a 'business interruption claim'.

Fletcher Day are acting for Altrincham.

Fletcher Day dispute resolution partner Nick Sutton is acting for Altrincham Football Club in a dispute with Axa Insurance regarding a business interruption claim.

Altrincham sued Axa in a High Court claim that said the insurer owes it £250,000 plus interest after the club was forced to close during the period March 2020 to June 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
 
The claim follows a UK Supreme Court ruling that says the insurer must pay.
