    Their baby was born in an American hospital seven weeks early, but the couple said Zurich Insurance Group refused to uphold the policy and cover their costs because the baby was not named in the document.

    After a nine month legal battle, Zurich has reversed its decision and told the BBC it was sorry for the stress caused.
