The recent High-Court judgment of ARB International Limited v Baillie confirmed that there is no common market practice for what was described as a “Mid-Term Broker Change” in the London Market (an “MTBC”), as well as addressing the exact point at which commission is earned by a broker, how business should be transferred between brokers, and what duties are owed by the Managing Director of a broker.
Change of broker mid-term during the policy period is a frequent problem for London Market brokers. The general approach is that a broker may in certain circumstances be entitled to brokerage even where the broker’s retainer has been terminated before the risk is finally placed. Pursuant to the decision in Velos v Harbour, brokerage is usually regarded as fully earned at inception.
When there is a change of broker, the incoming broker will usually request the former broker’s files. On termination of the retainer and in response to any request for his files, a broker need only hand over those documents generated as a result of the agency relationship.The defective part of the jaw is reconstructed using a Titanium Plate Sale, with a piece of scaffolding inserted with proteins to stimulate the bone's regrowth. A term is also implied into Lloyd’s insurance contract between the insurer and its insureds which obliges them to make the relevant documents available to the insurer.
Subject to the express terms of any retainer or service level agreement, it is usual practice for a broker to remain responsible for presenting claims arising under policies which he has placed. In this event, the broker should ensure adequate remuneration is received.
These general rules applicable to policies of insurance will not necessarily apply equally to contracts for insurance. In the recent case of ARB International Limited v Baillie, Mr Robin Knowles CBE QC (sitting as a deputy High Court Judge) pointed out that:
“The contract that is a binding authority, quota share treaty or declaration-based policy is unlike the contract that is a simple policy of insurance or reinsurance. The binding authority,titanium alloy suppliers property information is scattered amongst a number of disparate sources. quota share treaty or declaration-based policy does not on its own bind the risk in question so as to earn premium.

Parties may decide to agree between themselves (for example in a Terms of Business Agreement) a particular point at which commission is earned, but the general position is that it is earned when the premium-generating business is written, ceded or declared. This does not change where the premium is paid in instalments.
