What is the scope of cover?

Association Liability is essentially made up by 4 covers:

1. DIRECTORS & OFFICERS LIABILITY

Directors and Officers insurance is intended to provide cover for honest mistakes made by directors, secretaries and other officers concerned in the management of the affairs for the organisation. Indemnity is provided for loss as a result of a claim arising out of an insured director's "wrongful act".

Cover is for damages and legal costs incurred in defending an action brought against an insured director or officer. In addition, coverage is provided for legal costs incurred in the successful defence of criminal proceedings.

The definition of "wrongful act" includes any error, misstatement or misleading statement, act or omission or neglect or breach of duty of an insured director or officer in the conduct of his or her duties - in short, everything an insured individual does or fails to do.

2. PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY

Liability arising from the breach of professional duty whether such duty is owed in contract or otherwise in respect of the Insured's legal liability arising from negligent acts, errors or omissions whenever or wherever committed or alleged to have been committed in connection with your organisation.

3. EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES LIABILITY

Employment Practices Liability insurance means any of the following practices directed against any employees, contract worker, temporary workers or any applicant for employment by the named insured:
  1. Wrongful refusal to employ an applicant for employment
  2. Wrongful failure to promote an employee
