At the International Travel Insurance Conference, held in November 2008 in Budapest, three lawyers – Jill McCutcheon, a partner in the Canadian law firm Blaney McMurty LLP; Daniel Scognamiglio, a partner with Blake Lapthorn in the UK; and Tom Hudson, senior vice president and general counsel of MEDEX Global Group in the US – took the stage to give a presentation on how laws affecting common issues in the global travel insurance industry vary in different parts of the world. ITIJ put similar questions to those raised at the conference to this expert panel.
