......This item is very appropriate following the "U.K. workers fear
radiation" which I just sent to you..... Note, below, that EMF is on the
agenda.....
The point has often been made by a number of people on this net ...
that we should watch what the insurance industry is doing/saying about
EMF..... They are usually out ahead of everyone else -- even the
governments!! (Of course, that is easy to do.....)

Insurance Risks Now and in the Future Subject of Mealey's International
Insurance Coverage Conference
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Oxford University, America
Online, Equitas, Hannover Ruckversicherungs, and Windeyer Institute of
Medical Sciences will be among the companies represented at a conference in
London next month to discuss emerging risks facing the world insurance market.
Lord Mustill, founding member of Four Essex Chambers (now Essex Court
Chambers), one of the leading sets of commercial barristers in England, will
serve as one of the chairmen of the conference, titled "New Liabilities
Confronting the World Insurance Market" sponsored by Mealey Publications,
Inc., of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
Other participating entities include Reed Elsevier Ltd., Octavian Syndicate
702, Bavarian Reinsurance, Microwave Consultants Ltd. and Risk Control
Services in Sweden AB.
The conference will take place June 23-24 at the Savoy Hotel in London.
Emerging risks presented by cyber technology, by medical and scientific
advances, and by unanticipated hazards in the environment are of tremendous
concern to the London insurance market and those who advise it. Also of
great interest is U.S. litigation involving sexual harassment claims in the
workplace, defective building construction lawsuits, tobacco claims, and
theft of intellectual property, which continue to swell in the U.S. court
system.
The conference is designed specifically for solicitors, insurance executives,
underwriters, accountants, brokers, or anyone with a stake in monitoring
these current and future liabilities.
In addition to Lord Mustill, the conference will be chaired by London's
Anthony Fitzsimmons, a solicitor with Ince & Co.; Jonathan Bank, a partner
with the Los Angeles law firm of Chadbourne & Parke; and Jerold Oshinsky, a
partner with Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky in Washington, D.C.
Twenty-seven speakers and panelists will bring to the program a variety of
backgrounds in law, science and technology.
Topics will include:
-- Risks posed by Year 2000-related computer failures
- Potential losses arising from electronic commerce over the Internet
- Future claims potential due to human exposure to electromagnetic fields
- Litigation rising from cigarettes
- The hottest employment law claim in the U.S.: sexual harassment
- Threats posed by genetically modified organisms
- Risks posed by the transplanting of animal organs into humans
- Losses resulting from theft of a company's intellectual property
- Claims arising from defective building construction
