Lloyd’s Market Association Bulletin

The LMA’s Contingency Business Panel has published LMA5594A (Riot and Civil Commotion Extension) – an updated ‘A’ version of LMA5594.

The changes include an amendment to the definition of ‘civil commotion’ and the addition of the term ‘riot’.

Please note the following:

• LMA5594A replaces LMA5594, which has been archived.
• LMA5594A should not be used in conjunction with LMA5673, LMA5674 or LMA5675.

All LMA model documents are purely illustrative and are published and distributed for the guidance of Lloyd’s managing agents, brokers and other market participants. All contracting parties are free to agree to different conditions/amend the model documents as they see fit; the LMA does not protect its intellectual property rights over model documents. It is for underwriters to decide whether or not any contractual language is acceptable on any given risk. Model documents are available on the Lloyd’s Wordings Repository (LWR).
