Judge orders broker to pay market's owners over heater row
London-based broker Jardine Lloyd Thompson has been ordered to pay £1.75m to Camden Market’s owners following a fire in 2008, Insurance Times can reveal.
A judge ordered the payout at a hearing earlier this month after JLT failed to keep the market's owners fully informed about an insurer ban on portable heaters.
The fire caused almost £6m of damage to the Canal Market after a portable heater set light to a clothing stall.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
