IR35 insurance is probably okay, because they only lose one case at a time - and the amount lost on one case is relatively small in the grand scheme of things - not worth the reputational damage. Whether they would then continue to offer renewals if they lost a succession of cases is another matter
Insurance of the mass marketed schemes always was lunacy. These insurers are in for 100s of millions with the loss of one case. They're not going to pay out without a massive fight. More quote's here
Advisers accused of
Investors' in Icebreaker are now turning to insurance company Enterprise to pay out on policies it provided in respect of "losses or shortfalls" incurred by those who invested in the scheme.
However Enterprise is refusing to honour the insurance policies, on the grounds that it was deceived by Hamilton and her colleagues into believing that Icebreaker was a genuine investment vehicle, rather than an elaborate scheme designed solely to avoid tax.

They only pay out once the scheme has been defeated in court, by which time no one will care.Comment
