LONDON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - London's High Court on Friday
approved a fast-track appeal of an unprecedented test case
against some of the world's biggest insurers, brought by
Britain's markets regulator, allowing it to leapfrog straight
into the Supreme Court.
The decision was expected, but nevertheless spells further
delays for thousands of struggling businesses battered by the
coronavirus pandemic, who had hoped a judgment delivered two
weeks ago would lead to prompt payment of disputed claims.
