Insurance Australia Group Limited ( (AU:IAG) ) has provided an update.

IAG has announced a significant update regarding the class action related to business interruption cover and its COVID-19 business interruption provision. The Federal Court has decided to declass the proceeding as a class action, effective from 26 March 2025, and has outlined steps for group members who do not wish to be bound by the court’s rulings. With the appeal period expired and no appeal sought by the representative applicant, IAG plans to release $200 million of its $380 million provision based on actuarial assessments, reflecting the potential for future claims. This adjustment will positively impact their financial results, which are set to be announced in February 2025.
