Canada

New: Get your quote and buy online with ingenie
09th March 2015

We’re pleased to announce that young drivers can now buy insurance direct from ingenie.ca.

We're the first broker to let young drivers get a quote and see how much they could save by driving well, then pay online in just a few minutes. They also have the option of speaking to an advisor over the phone if they need more help.

ingenie is all about young drivers

We designed our insurance specifically for young drivers, allowing them to be treated as individuals and have more control over their insurance costs.

Using the ingenie Smartbox, we build up a picture of their driving style, giving feedback to help them improve and Good Driving Discounts of up to an extra 25% over the year. It's simple: drive well, pay less.

Why ingenie came to Canada

Road safety:

According to the latest Ontario Road Safety Annual Report, 22% of vehicle collisions involve a driver aged 16 to 20. Having proved in the UK that our Smartbox lowers the risk of having an accident by 40%, we're now bringing ingenie's road safety benefits to young Canadians.

Affordable insurance:

Ontario has also seen very high insurance costs for young drivers and 60% said this was the biggest reason for not buying a car, so we wanted to give under-24s here a way of getting on the road more affordably.


Traditionally, young drivers have been discriminated against and treated as a high risk by the insurance industry. ingenie is all about providing auto insurance specifically designed for young drivers.

We help young drivers develop a good driving style, then reward them for how they actually drive, rather than treating them as a statistic.


Richard King
ingenie founder

Canada

A unique proposal for young drivers
March 11, 2015

Founded in 2011, ingenie is ready to try and repeat its U.K. success in Canada.



Hey young drivers and parents - how about a break on your auto insurance?

Coming to Canada in March is ingenie, which is a U.K.-based insurance company that specializes in backing drivers aged 16-24.

Founded in 2011, ingenie is ready to try and repeat its U.K. success in Canada.

Underwritten by Aviva Insurance, the company uses new technology that sees drivers plug an Internet-connected device into their vehicle. While far from the first company to offer discounted insurance rates based on your driving style, they're the first to target young drivers.

I sit down with the company's founder and CEO, Richard King, to learn more.

Plug the Smartbox into a port in your vehicle, install the accompanying app onto your iPhone or Android mobile device, and let the tracking begin. That's the key here - you're trading your driving information for lower rates.

Like ingenie's tagline says: "drive well, pay less."

Drivers get 10% off by signing up, and save up to 25% during the year by proving they're driving safely. If they're not, though, then the prices increase.

The Smartbox tracks your start and end points, but more, it monitors the driving style you used to get there, charting things like speed, braking, accelerating, and cornering. Your style will be ranked on a 100-point scale, in addition to feedback that arrives every 10 days, and that is displayed within the app.

It's possible to earn a dangerous driver reputation, which shoots you to the top of ingenie's watch list. If that happens, your phone will ring and a psychologist will be on the other end, who will talk to you about why you're driving like a jerk and endangering others.

According to ingenie, it's working. In the U.K., one out of every eight young drivers enrolled with ingenie is averaging a crash, compared to the national average of one out of every five. King attributes this to the performance-based financial rewards as much as the constant feedback on their driving, saying the typical user checks their account 14 times per month.

I tell King that “that's a lot of data you now have on me. What are you doing with it and how is it protected?"

I'm assured the data will only be accessed by the underwriters, will not be shared with any third parties, will remain on a server farm located within our Canadian borders, and won't be given to the police.

Eyes still narrowed, I tell King my idea (which I'm not sharing here) on how to defraud the system, and he smiles. They've thought of it, and have in place a few more ways to know if you're trying to cheat the system.

The Canadian arm of ingenie launches first in Ontario, and says it expects to launch in other provinces, but needs to work through some red tape before anything can be confirmed.

I'll have the chance to test the Smartbox in the coming weeks, so watch for an upcoming column about that.

Quindell Plc

Issue of equity

On 5 March 2015, Quindell Plc (AIM: QPP.L) announced the settlement of litigation (Laurence Baker, et al. v. Hassan Sadiq, et al. and NavSeeker, Inc. C.A. No. 9464-VCL, Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware USA) and the associated acquisition of 11.67 per cent. of Navseeker, Inc ("Navseeker"), not already held by the Company (which includes shares held by non-litigants to whom Quindell is required to extend the Navseeker purchase offer)("Settlement"). As part of the process to achieve full ownership of Navseeker, the Company further announces that it has today issued 832,946 new ordinary shares of 15p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), in respect of the acquisition of a further 8.33 per cent. of Navseeker not already held by the Company.



Navseeker is a subsidiary of Himex Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Quindell) and following completion of this acquisition and the Settlement, Navseeker will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Himex.



Application will be made for the 832,946 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM "Admission"), with Admission expected to occur on 20 March 2015. Following Admission, Quindell will have 440,946,623 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company has no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. The total of 440,946,623 Ordinary Shares may therefore be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Aussies close in on Quindell deal

Ben Harrington Published: 15 March 2015

AUSTRALIA’S largest law firm is on the verge of sealing a takeover of Quindell’s legal services division that could eventually value the unit at up to £900m.

City sources said Quindell’s board is on the verge of recommending a £640m cash offer from Slater & Gordon, which is listed on the Australian stock market.

Quindell’s legal services division provides solicitors and barristers to insurance companies when they receive claims from motor accidents.

In addition to the £640m up-front price, Slater & Gordon is expected to pay Quindell 50% of receipts from noise-induced hearing loss cases.

The receipts are expected to pay Quindell between £100m and £300m over the next three years, said one source. Slater & Gordon is understood to have completed due diligence on Quindell and both companies could announce a deal by March 23, when the Australian group’s “exclusivity” agreement runs out. Quindell and Slater & Gordon declined to comment.

If Slater & Gordon completes the takeover bid, it would mark a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for AIM-listed Quindell, whose travails have gripped the City over the past 18 months.

Its shares soared — at one stage it was on course to join the FTSE 250 — then slumped after an attack by a short-seller. A series of gaffes then led to the departure of chief executive Rob Terry in November. On Friday, Quindell’s shares closed at 98½p, giving the company a market value of £433m.

Cheers geoffsh.

MPs question FCA over insurance outsourcer Quindell's share dive
Oscar Williams-Grut
Associate business editor
Monday 16 March 2015

Britain’s financial regulator is facing mounting pressure to reveal details of its investigation into a “deeply worrying” allegation of market abuse that left hundreds of retail investors with huge losses.

Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, and Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, have written to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) calling for information on its response to the share price collapse of the insurance outsourcer Quindell last April. A number of other MPs and hundreds of investors have also petitioned the watchdog.

In a letter seen by The Independent, Mr Cable said allegations of “potential market abuse” raised by a constituent were “deeply worrying” and posed questions to the regulator about its response to the incident.

The value of Quindell, listed on the Alternative Investment Market, plummeted by £1bn last year after a US short-seller published allegations about the business online. The company denied the claims and won a court case in the UK against the short seller, which failed to provide a defence. But the shares have not recovered, and Quindell’s investors, most of them individuals rather than institutions, have been left with hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of losses.

The Quindell Shareholder Action Group (QSAG), which represents more than 1,000 investors, believes the company could have been a victim of market abuse and has been calling for the FCA to investigate. But the group claims to have been stonewalled by the watchdog, which will not even confirm whether it has looked at the incident.

A spokesperson for the QSAG said: “We raised 15 questions with the FCA and they’re refusing to answer any of them. This is tantamount to a burglar robbing your house and the police saying, ‘We might investigate this or we might not, but if we do, we can’t tell you the outcome.’ That’s ridiculous. This is an organisation that’s supposed to protect investors.”

The FCA only reveals details of investigations if wrongdoing is uncovered and once they are concluded, so as not to unduly affect a company’s share prices.

Mr Tyrie has written to the FCA’s chief executive, Martin Wheatley, asking him to explain why the regulator did not impose a temporary ban on short-selling despite the fall triggering alarm bells.

The former secretary of state Peter Hain has also written to the regulator, and this week submitted two questions to the Treasury on the matter. He told The Independent: “It is scandalous that thousands of Britons who invested in Quindell, many of whom put their life savings into this company, have seen the value of their shares plummet. The FCA has failed these investors abysmally and continues to duck its responsibilities, with the Chancellor unwilling to intervene.”

An FCA spokesperson said: “We take all allegations of market abuse very seriously. Every allegation notified to us is reviewed by our market monitoring department. However, we do not comment on individual cases.”

what a good day - WHAT!?

looks like a classic buy on rumour sell on news so far ;

Quindell confirms discussions with Slater & Gordon

StockMarketWire.com

Quindell (AIM: QPP.L) has commented on an article in yesterday's Sunday Times and confirmed that it remains in discussion with Slater & Gordon ("SGH") regarding the possible disposal of the professional services division ("PSD") of the Group.

The company said that a number of deal structures have been discussed with SGH including one with an up front value of £640m and a share of receipts from settlement of noise induced hearing loss cases.

However, there can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to any offer, or the disposal of the PSD division.

Quindell nears law arm sale
By Harriet Mann | Mon, 16th March 2015 - 16:52


Quindell (QPP) has confirmed that it could sell its legal professional services division (PSD) to Australian law firm Slater & Gordon for £640 million in cash plus a share of receipts from the settlement of Noise Induced Hearing Loss cases. That could eventually value the division at £900 million. The news comes amid reports that business secretary Vince Cable has called on the Financial Conduct Authority to reveal more details about its investigation into Gotham City Research and allegations of market abuse last year.

Responding to weekend press speculation, Quindell said Slater & Gordon could pay the bulk of any consideration for PSD upfront, with receipts on top. According to the Sunday Times, those receipts could be worth £100-£300 million over the next three years.

Slater & Gordon is understood to have completed due diligence on Quindell and both companies could announce a deal by March 23, when the Australian group's "exclusivity" agreement runs out. Quindell and Slater & Gordon declined to comment.

"Quindell confirms that a number of deal structures have been discussed with SGH including one with an up-front value of £640 million and a share of receipts from settlement of Noise Induced Hearing Loss cases," read a brief statement on Monday.

As is usual in these cases, Quindell warned the market that nothing was certain. However, if Slater & Gordon does pay up, the implication is that the Aussies were happy with their own checks into accounting policies at the business. If Quindell has been consistent across the business, investors will become increasingly confident that a review being conducted by accountancy firm PwC will not reveal any nasties.

PwC said a fortnight ago that it needed another "few weeks" to complete its review, over three months after it began digging around. Quindell said it is considering advice about its main accounting policies, particularly on revenue recognition in the professional services division, although no conclusions have been reached.

Quindell shares shot up by a third on Monday to a three-month high at 134p, kissing the 200-day moving average for the first time in almost a year.

Elsewhere, Vince Cable and chairman of the Treasury Select Committee Andrew Tyrie have written to the FCA asking for more information on its response to Quindell's collapse in market value last April, the Independent has reported. The case has already been to court, a hearing Quindell won when Gotham failed to provide evidence.

Noise-induced hearing loss a disease, High Court rules
17 March 2015By John Hyde

The High Court has ruled that noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) should be treated as a disease rather than an injury for the purpose of claims – and therefore be subject to higher success fees.

Mr Justice Phillips said four claims by former employees of BT should attract a solicitor’s success fee of 62.5% as their condition was regarded as a disease.

The claims, which had been settled, dated back to before the Jackson reforms and so success fees were recoverable by the claimants’ representatives from Cardiff firm Hugh James.

BT’s in-house team argued the noise-induced hearing loss claims should be treated as an injury according to the Civil Procedure Rules and subject to a 25% success fee.

Phillips said both claimants and defendants had accepted NIHL as a disease following an industry ‘settlement’ in 2005.

But the defendants’ stance changed from October 2012 when a ruling on non-freezing cold injury found it was classified as an ‘injury’ for the purposes of the success fees recoverable.

BT argued that the same principles involved in that case could be applied to NIHL as the condition was caused by immediate physical trauma, rather than a disease in any natural or ordinary sense.

But Phillips rejected that assertion and pointed out that occupational deafness has been ‘expressly defined’ as a disease through subordinate legislation since 1975.

He added: ‘[The] defendant’s insurers’ attempt to re-open (if not renege on) the industry agreement made in 2005 does them little credit. The large number of NIHL claims in which the argument about the success fee has been raised will have been funded by conditional fee agreements which were entered on the basis that a 62.5% success fee would be recovered.

‘To seek to limit such success fees to 25% is an opportunistic attempt to avoid part of the overall bargain.’

A spokesman for Hugh James said had the challenge been successful it would have resulted in uncertainty for many noise-induced hearing loss claimants.

‘The risk involved in conducting such a complex claim would mean that many could no longer be fought on the basis of risk, severely hampering access to justice for thousands.’

This offer for the Vauxhall ADAM was announced last month but just highlighting this advert which is dated today:

Young Drivers On The Road For Less
Article by luke.mezzone@cmsk.co.uk
March 19th, 2015

Following the success of its young driver insurance offer on Corsa, which was taken up by over 1,500 customers, Vauxhall is offering the same great deal to young ADAM drivers to help lower the cost of motoring.

Drivers aged 18-20 can get one year’s insurance cover for a one-off payment of £99, which they can even earn back, and 21-75 year olds can get free insurance on most ADAM models.*

“With young drivers potentially paying upwards of £2,000 for insurance when they are 18, this offer for ADAM drivers is an amazing deal and shows our commitment to lowering the cost of motoring,” said John Hennelly, Vauxhall’s Marketing Programmes Manager.

The £99 insurance offer for drivers aged 18-20 and the free insurance offer for 21-75 year old drivers is available for all eligible orders or registrations up until 6 th April 2015 when an ADAM is taken with either a 2.9% PCP contract or a contract hire agreement.

To qualify for the offer, 18-20 year old drivers simply have to allow insurance provider, ingenie, to install a ‘black box’ to monitor driving style, including speed, acceleration, braking and cornering. Under the previous Corsa offer, over 70 per cent of customers received a money back discount.

They will receive a score from ingenie every ten days or so (depending on mileage) via a smartphone app. If they drive well, they will be rewarded with up to £33 per quarter – meaning they could recoup the cost within 12 months.

“We’ve made it our mission to help get young drivers on the road without breaking the bank, and most importantly to keep them safe while they’re there,” said Richard King, founder and CEO of ingenie.

The offer is available on JAM, GLAM, SLAM, ROCKS and ROCKS AIR models in the ADAM range, with only the ADAM GRAND SLAM excluded. However, Vauxhall is making the GRAND SLAM as affordable as possible with a 2.9% flexible PCP contract offer, so drivers can get behind the wheel for just £199 per month with a deposit of £2,572.35.

ingenie Canada Inc. chooses Keal Technology as its Broker Management System Provider

Toronto, ON (Mar. 19, 2015) – Keal Technology, innovators in broker solutions, have announced that ingenie Canada Inc., an insurance telematics brand for young drivers, has selected Keal's SIG solution to support its newly launched online quote and buy system.

ingenie allows young drivers to be treated as individuals by use of its Smartbox telematics technology, which builds a picture of how they really drive. Customers are given a 10% up-front saving when they buy insurance with ingenie, and the opportunity to earn up to an extra 25% Good Driving Discount. Billing is reviewed three times each year, which means customers can start saving after just three months. Additionally, they receive regular driving feedback online or via their mobile app to help them improve.

Keal's SIG solution was chosen by ingenie as their Broker Management System. Working with ingenie's real time quote and buy website, SIG works behind the scenes to allow customers to gain a quote and then bind the policy online, capturing all of the customer information for the brokerage records. Payment can be taken via a number of methods, including credit card. SIG then integrates with Aviva's systems to send the policy information to them, which returns a policy number in real time into SIG.

Lorie Phair, CEO of ingenie Canada Inc., speaks to their decision to choose Keal, "The new ingenie quote system is the first to give young drivers the flexibility to get an insurance quote, check how much they could save by driving well, and then complete their purchase online. We chose Keal because they are the only vendor that would be able to quickly create the integration between prospects to insurer with the support and control of the brokerage."

Pat Durepos, President of Keal, states: "This solution is a great example of what e-brokers require in 2015. Consumers want to transact electronically from any device, 24/7 and 365 days a year. They also want to do this under the comfort of their trusted advisor Broker. This solution makes this a reality."

Keal's ability to respond to their Broker-Partners' changing needs opens the door to future development projects and innovations that will allow their clients to remain relevant in an ever-changing marketplace.
