We, Catalina Insurance Ireland dac (Catalina or us) are proposing to accept the transfer a portfolio of German medical malpractice policies, provided that the policies expired prior to 30 April 2015 or in respect of which a cancellation notice was issued prior to that date (the Policies), from Zurich Insurance plc (Zurich) (the Transfer).

The Transfer will be carried out by an Irish High Court process used to transfer insurance businesses. Zurich is an insurance company incorporated and authorised in Ireland and conducts business in Germany through a branch registered in Germany. As a result, the Irish High Court (the Court) is responsible for deciding whether to approve the Transfer.

The Court hearing to approve the Transfer is scheduled to take place at the High Court of Ireland, Four Courts, Dublin 7, Ireland on 17 October 2018. If approved by the Court, the Transfer will take place on 30 November 2018 (the Transfer Date).

The aim of this website is to provide information and help answer any questions about the impact of the transfer and the Transfer process. You can find documents relating to the Transfer in the Transfer document library.

We will update this web page as soon as possible if and when any changes occur in relation to the Transfer to keep you up to date with developments, so please check this web page regularly.
