    hi sir,

    for the matters to be considered whether the insurance claim is virtually certain to be received, can i write about the point that the date the claim was put on and the financial year end date was too short for the insurance company to assess whether the interruption in production is claimable besides the point that the amount appears unrealistic?

    Yes, you could do.

    Let’s be honest here – in a 15 mark question, you’re looking to make 15 markable points

    Unless you happen to be one of the top 1% of students doing this exam, to make 15 points for a 15 marker is probably beyond you (it’s certainly beyond 99% of students!)

    So any extra points that you can think of will set you ahead of the pack and proximity to year end together with unlikelihood of reasonable assessment of claimability could well get you that additional point

    That’s a big issue – and not just for overseas (non-uk) students either.

    Get your planned points listed, arrange them into a logical, sensible sequence, put some lesser important words around them and move on!
