AIG – Submission on Vero Tower Merger
Public version AIG Insurance New Zealand submission on application to Commerce Commission by Vero Insurance New Zealand Limited (Vero) for clearance of Vero’s Proposed Acquisition of Tower Limited (the Proposed Acquisition) AIG seeks confidentiality for sections in [ ] 1 Executive Summary 1.1 AIG is concerned about the potential impact to consumers of the Proposed Acquisition on personal products markets for domestic buildings, contents and private motor vehicles (HCMV market ). 1.2 AIG is also concerned about the potential impact to consumers and suppliers in the markets for provision of windscreen repair services and collision repair services. AIG also believes this will potentially extend to include home repairs and the supply of building materials, particular in the event of natural catastrophe. 1.3 The Proposed Acquisition will result in a high concentration of market share in the HCMV market in IAG ([ ]%) and Vero ([ ]%), with a combined concentration of circa [ ]%. Tower currently is the most significant competitive constraint in the HCMV market on Vero and IAG with a market share of ([ ]%). The Proposed Acquisition would lead to further concentration of the HCMV market. 1.4 Increased market concentration makes new market entry and competitive offerings from existing players more difficult, all to the detriment of consumers. By way of example, Youi currently only accounts for a very small share of the HCMV market and its products do not compete strongly with Vero, Tower or IAG. Having to compete in a further concentrated market would further undermine the ability of smaller players like Youi and new market entrants to compete. 1.5 Acquisition will also establish conditions that substantially increase the potential for Vero and IAG to coordinate their behaviour (directly or indirectly) and collectively exercise market power, to the detriment of customers. -

Insurance Law and the Principle of Indemnity in Light of Ridgecrest Nz Ltd V Iag New Zealand Ltd
73 INSURANCE LAW AND THE PRINCIPLE OF INDEMNITY IN LIGHT OF RIDGECREST NZ LTD V IAG NEW ZEALAND LTD Kasia Ginders* When the Supreme Court discussed the principle of indemnity in Ridgecrest NZ Ltd v IAG New Zealand Ltd, it was referred to as "awkward" in the context of a replacement policy. The application of the indemnity principle in the case raises further questions about the nature of the principle in insurance contracts. It is submitted that the indemnity principle is currently enforceable not as a legal test nor as a policy-based presumption; rather, it is applicable mostly because it is presumed the parties intended it to apply. This conclusion draws on both consideration of the rationales and rules of, exceptions to, and law reform concerning the principle. It also draws on analysis of the principle in light of Ridgecrest and two other recent cases following the Christchurch earthquakes that deal with the principle of indemnity. I INTRODUCTION The principle of indemnity in insurance law holds that an insured is entitled to receive a full indemnity for his or her loss, no more and no less. However, Ridgecrest NZ Ltd v IAG New Zealand Ltd (Ridgecrest), a 2014 case in the New Zealand Supreme Court, has brought the nature of the principle into question. When an insured building owned by Ridgecrest NZ Ltd (Ridgecrest) sustained damage in successive Canterbury earthquakes, the Supreme Court held that Ridgecrest could claim up to the full amount of the sum insured per happening, despite being underinsured and not having repaired the damage from the earlier quakes when the insured building became a total loss. -
