Concern is growing, however, that too many companies are willfully ignoring Y2K problems, placing themselves and their insurers in jeopardy. Even if they wanted to, insurers would have a hard time excluding Y2K risks in Germany. Contract law supports automatic renewals, making the annual renewals that are common in the UK and US an exception in Germany. As a result, most commercial policies cover most Y2K risks.
