Does a supplier delay trigger business-interruption coverage?
Not necessarily. Contingent business interruption may require physical damage at a dependent business. A delay alone should not be assumed to meet the form’s trigger; check the actual wording.
Name each supplier or facility and ask whether it meets the form's dependent-property definition, what event triggers the coverage, and which waiting period, restoration period, sublimit or exclusion applies. Check separate cyber or service-interruption wording for port, labor or software outages.3,7
