  • Local legal framework on subrogation;
  • Insurers’ right to subrogate;
  • Investigations prior to subrogated proceedings;
  • Limitation period for subrogated action;
  • Responsibility for costs in subrogated action;
  • Enforcement of judgements for insurers; and
  • Subrogated actions against co-insured parties.

The Subrogated Recoveries – Asia Pacific guide is available below.
