The Reinsurance Working Party met in Tel Aviv at the Israeli AIDA Chapter conference on 8 September.  The two subjects for discussion at the meeting were:

1. Arbitration (and Jurisdiction) Clauses in Reinsurance Contracts and how these are protected by anti-suit judgments and declaratory claims - the presentation was led by Dr Shahar Weller with a contribution by Rob Merkin..
2. Extra Contractual Liability on Reinsurers for example, punitive damages and defence costs - with a presentation by Ozlem Gurses and again, a contribution by Rob Merkin.
