Clyde & Co LLP, 3140 Rowan Place, Oxford Business Park, Oxford OX4 2WB

The case concerns an insurance claim following a fire at a large indoor and outdoor retail market. The fire originated from one of the units at the market and our client’s unit suffered damage and substantial loss arising from the fire. The evidence pointed to an electrical fault.

Client comment:

“We sought independent expert advice from B M Kelly and Associates Ltd in respect of the electrical fault itself and the adequacy of an electrical inspection undertaken by an electrical contractor in the months before the fire.

B M Kelly and Associates Ltd have provided us with clear and comprehensive expert advice which has assisted us greatly in formulating and proceeding with a legal claim against the electrical contractor. B M Kelly and Associates Ltd benefit from both extensive expertise in the electrical industry and a strong grasp of the legal position.

Mr Kelly of B M Kelly and Associates Ltd has undertaken a review of the records and evidence and has provided us with a thorough report on the likely cause of the fire and a number of issues arising from the electrical inspection. He continues to advise throughout the claim on the viability of the arguments put forward by the electrical contractor and has advised on documents and information we should request from the electrical contractor.”
