As a result of the November floods last year, Grassland Fertilizers suffered losses of up to €1.3 million when up to 70% of the stock stored at its Cork facility was destroyed. A claim was processed and the underwriters failed to pay because there was no cover in place for flood, burst pipes, tempest and/or storm damage. Grassland are now bringing their insurance broker to the commercial court in an effort to recoup their losses.
