Consumer Insurance Contracts Bill 2017: Committee Stage
Michael D'Arcy (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The starting point is the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman and, potentially, a person may have to go to court. The concern we have with the current wording is that one would end up with the insurer arguing that it has not been unreasonable or that the delays were not unreasonable. We are concerned that there is an ambiguity in the section. I know the effect the Deputy wants section 15(1) to achieve, but we think the wording is not correct.
