Essentials of Subrogation – Part 2


by Insurance Institute of Nova Scotia
May 03, 2022


**It is recommended to have either attended the Part 1 of the subrogation series
or a strong knowledge of basic subrogation concepts**

While an insurer’s first priority is to swiftly and appropriately indemnify customers, maximizing recoveries is an essential component to controlling claims costs and maintaining a profitable portfolio. This session focuses on the importance of considering all avenues of subrogation, preparing the file for success and assessing the potential for recovery at the earliest possible time – sometimes even before the first payment on the claim is made.

This session (Part 2) will take a closer look at the impact of contracts, such as leases and indemnity agreements, and the impact of Condominium laws on subrogation.

Topics Include:

– Waiver of subrogation by contract
– Impact of the SCC “Trilogy” cases on subrogation
– Product Defect claims – class actions
– Subrogating on Condominium claims across Canada
– Absolute Liability & Subrogation 
– Bailment claims & subrogation
– Cargo claims & subrogation
– Best practices in Litigation management
