General Insurance Article - Willis take JLT to the High Court for conspiracy


Willis Limited announces that it has commenced proceedings in the High Court in London against Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc, JLT Specialty Limited and Willis employee Mr David Gordon for damages for conspiracy and for breach of duty and wrongful interference in the proposed sale of the FAJS division to Miller Insurance Services LLP.

 Willis applied for an injunction to prevent JLT and David Gordon from recruiting further Willis staff from its Fine Art, Jewellery & Specie (FAJS) team. The Judge found Willis had shown there was a serious issue of unlawful activity to be tried. He did not grant the injunction as he considered the damage to Willis already done. The Judge said that damages could be pursued at trial. 
  
 Willis will always pursue legal redress against individuals and companies where we believe unlawful action has compromised the interests of our clients, our employees, the markets we work with and our shareholders. We will defend these interests robustly and intend to pursue this case vigorously to trial for the maximum recovery.
