The Supreme Court grants insurance compensation for "sudden" and "unforeseen" damage when the roof collapsed. In the precedent "Möbelvaruhuset i Boden" (Supreme Court's judgment on January 25, 2024 in case T 4849-22), the Supreme Court has interpreted the terms of a combined business insurance, and in particular the terms that it must be a "sudden" and "unforeseen" damage for an insurance case to exist. The requirement that it must be a "sudden" and "unforeseen" damage for an insurance case to exist is in principle always set in all-risk insurances.
