The Court of Appeal has ordered APA Insurance to pay a manufacturing firm Sh58.6 million as compensation following a fire that gutted the firm’s premises, hardly two months after the insurance took effect.
The award is a 28.8 percent reduction from the Sh82.33 million that the High Court had awarded the manufacturer-Britind Industries Limited- in February 2023 before APA appealed the decision, claiming that the fire was ‘deliberately or wilfully’ started by the firm.
