Restaurants say they are giving insurers a week to pay out on business interruption cover following a High Court ruling last week.
The Restaurants' Association's legal team say the judgment secured by four pubs against FBD last Friday, applies to about a third of the policies they've reviewed.
The Association says it has looked at around 600 of its member's policies, and is urging other restaurateurs to examine their documentation with a view to pressing for a claim.
