Can an insurer refuse to provide internal correspondence and case notes relating to an insurance claim where a subject access request (SAR) is made under the UK GDPR for such information?

Can an insurer refuse to provide internal correspondence and case notes relating to an insurance claim where a subject access request (SAR) is made under the UK GDPR for such information? This Q&A assumes that the organisation that has received the SAR is a ‘controller’ of the relevant data. For an introduction to the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Retained Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (UK GDPR) regime, including key data protection terms and concepts, such as ‘personal data’, 'processing', 'data subject' and ‘controller’, see: Data protection toolkit. As further explained in Practice Notes: The UK GDPR and DPA 2018 for insurers and Data subject rights—access, Article 15 of the UK GDPR gives individuals a right to obtain confirmation from a data controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed, and where it is, access to the personal data and certain further information. A request for such information is commonly known as a ‘subject access request’ (or a 'SAR' or 'DSAR'). In order to assist...

If administrators of a policyholder did not notify insurers of a claim against the policyholder within the 28-day time limit stated in the policy, can insurers reject cover?

If administrators of a policyholder did not notify insurers of a claim against the policyholder within the 28-day time limit stated in the policy, can insurers reject cover? It is assumed that the claim would otherwise trigger cover under the insurance policy and that it is a liability insurance policy. Under a liability insurance policy, a notification clause is framed as a condition precedent to indemnity under the policy, to allow insurers to investigate the claim at an early stage. In the absence of a clause allowing for extended reporting of claims notifications, an insurer can rely on a breach of a condition precedent to deny liability, regardless of whether insurers have suffered any prejudice. See Practice Note: Liability insurance—notification of claims and circumstances and defence of claims. It should be noted that the purpose of section 11 of the Insurance Act 2015 relates to terms that define the risk as a whole, and it is to prevent insurers from relying on a breach unconnected to the...
