Salmon farmer nets out of court insurance settlement

The company had taken out an insurance policy with Nemi Forsikring in May 2007 and then made a “multi-million-pound” claim the following month, after thousands of fish died at the Western Isles fish farm, the Scotsman online reports

Nemi said the deaths were not covered by the policy and the case came before the Court of Session in Edinburgh in May.

Gail Whealing, legal director at law firm DLA Piper Scotland, has now revealed that her teams in Edinburgh and Oslo reached a settlement with Marine Harvest on behalf of the insurer, the Scotsman says.
