The Central Bank of Ireland has proposed changes to the consumer protection code which will likely mean that more business will be protected by consumer legislation. More businesses would qualify as a "consumer", the current turnover threshold increasing from €3m to up to €5m. Further, other proposed changes would result in more vigorous standards for insurers in ensuring fair outcomes are achieved for consumers. Insurers will likely be obliged to adopt a wider customer first approach in future, particularly where there are ambiguities in relation to cover.
