Complaints may be referred to the Financial Services Complaints Board at any stage during the complaints process, even before the insurer has given its final response.
With regard to complaints made against EEA insurers, such as Lloyd’s underwriters, the Financial Services Complaints Board is likely to refer the complaint to the ombudsman in the insurer’s home state to deal with. In respect of Lloyd’s policies this will be the Financial Ombudsman Service in the UK.
Local Regulatory Reporting Requirements
Annual report to the Financial Supervisory Authority in respect of establishment business only. This is submitted on behalf of Lloyd’s underwriters by Lloyd’s General Representative for Norway
