This provides the directors, officers and/or trustees of the Board, Association or League with protection against civil or criminal lawsuits and regulatory proceedings. Without this cover members are placing their entire personal assets at risk. The cover provides a pool of money that can be drawn on to fund defence and settlement costs and to pay for the costs of legal representation at investigations. Boards, Associations or Leagues may not immediately conjure up thoughts of disputes and litigation. However, life can be as complicated for these bodies and their trustees as it is for commercial companies and their directors. Current case law and statute can create a personal and unlimited liability for trustees. This means that without adequate insurance protection, civil or criminal lawsuits, and regulatory proceedings against trustees put his/her entire personal estate at risk. Potential Sources of claims for Incorporated Boards, Associations or Leagues

A trading standards officer found short measures being sold at the body’s premises. Defence costs were incurred in defending the treasurer in the criminal proceedings which resulted For full details of the policy and a list of exclusions you should refer to the policy wording, a copy of which is available on request The insurers of the Directors and Officers Liability Section of cover are Chubb Insurance |
