Manifest Error

Situations when the assured has been forced to accept an arbitration clause without a well recognised jurisdiction and is concerned that the arbitration will not be objective.

How it works

Manifest error is designed to respond in the event that the assured objectively considers it has suffered an injustice where it has been obliged to accept binding arbitration or the ruling of a Court where the law has not been applied based on facts:

  • Firstly, by referral to an independent lawyer to review the facts and the applicable law, and
  • Secondly, should the lawyer consider that the assured has paid more or received less than it should have done, the policy will pay the difference, subject to limits.

A variation of the foregoing is where you deem the arbitration result to be satisfactory, however, the arbitration award is not paid, and the jurisdiction does not uphold the award. This exposure would be covered under a "Failure to Honour Arbitration Award Insurance".
