Lemon & Duke is arguing that FBD misrepresented the cover that would be provided before it took out a policy. He said the policy could be triggered in that case on the basis you have an occurrence and an imposed closure following. Judge McDonald pointed out that The Inn on Hibernian Way, trading as Lemon & Duke, had indeed sought it. “Mr Anderson can be complimented for his foresight, but it was foresight which arose after the commencement of the pandemic. It was after events in China and Europe, when he was seen what was happening around the world, that he asked about the cover,” Mr McGrath said.
