The CESA PI Scheme/Claims Triangle continued to
be presented by Aon at Committee meetings leading
to discussion of the premiums, number and value of
claims, types of claims and accordingly what training
courses need to be offered to minimise claims in that
category. In the year under review it was identified
that a large proportion of the claims were related
to structural failure requiring the development of
a suitable Practice Note and as well as a suitable
training course , focussing on the failure of software
and what safety checks need to be carried out.
The Committee initiated the tabling of the claims
triangle and explanatory notes at Board and Council
meetings, as this important information required
wider dissemination. Importantly Aon indicated that
owing to the downturn in the economy, the merging
of firms and the increased value of claims it was likely
that rates would harden in 2014
