What is Insured vs Insured Exclusion | Insurance glossary by upcover

This clause prevents disputes between co-insureds—like business partners—from being treated as third-party claims. For example, if two directors insured under the same policy sue each other, the insurer will not respond. Linked term: see Cross Liability Clause for how unrelated insureds can still claim separately. Why it matters: It keeps liability cover focused on genuine external claims, not internal disagreements.
