In 2021-2022, Deminor helped several business owners in France in their pursuit of indemnification from insurance companies for losses suffered due to lockdown measures.
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the French authorities ordered the closure of non-essential businesses (such as restaurants, bars, and hotels) from 15 March 2020 to 15 June 2020. Then, the French authorities imposed a further partial closure of non-essential businesses from 16 October 2020. This became a full closure from 29 October 2020 until end of June 2021.
Businesses which saw their activities interrupted because of these lockdown measures have suffered a significant loss of revenue. This loss of revenue is often covered by professional risk insurance taken out by business owners. However, insurance companies have so far largely refused to indemnify their policy holders.
Therefore, Deminor, as third party funder, has supported several businesses in the filing of a claim in front of the French courts claiming an indemnification against selected insurance companies.
