Swiss Federal Supreme Court decision: interpretation of exclusion clause
Professional liability insurance policies usually contain specific clauses that exclude coverage for occurrences or claims that are the result of the insured having acted with a degree of intent. These clauses typically exclude coverage for acts or omissions of the insured which are committed either:
“wilfully”; “intentionally”; or as stated in the clause in question here, “knowingly”.
