I've had another look at the PPU website and noticed
this on the blurp about legal cover:-
"...With the PPU policy, notification to insurers does not have to be in writing, in the first instance (unlike other policies)..........."
However on perusing the
Legal Cover Policy Wording , I found this:-
1. Notification of Claims
It is a condition precedent to the liability of the Insurer that the Coverholder be notified in writing during the Period of Insurance
immediately the Insured is aware of any cause, event or circumstance which has given or may give rise to a Claim, dispute or legal
proceedings involving the Insured. Where such notification has been given, the Insurer agrees to treat any subsequent Claim in
respect of the cause, event or circumstance notified as though the Claim had been notified during the Period of Insurance.
The Coverholder will forward to the Insured an insurance claim form that must be completed and returned immediately.
