Liability insurance cover for all officers, directors and committee members of all NIBU affiliated clubs The Northern Ireland Bridge Union is delighted to confirm that the Northern Ireland Bridge Union has extended its liability insurance to cover all committee members, directors and officers of all our affiliated clubs. This has been arranged at no extra cost to our clubs for this coverage. The policy protects officers and committee members in the event that they are sued personally arising from the performance of their club duties. This includes errors and omissions, negligence, breach of duty, breach of trust, misstatement and any other matter claimed against the committee member or officer, whilst acting on behalf of the club. An example might be if an action was brought by a former member which the club had felt compelled to ban or if it were alleged that a member of a committee made a discriminatory ruling. Under this policy, there is no limit of indemnity per event or claim, although there is an annual limit for the total of all claims of £500,000. (This is the total of the NIBU and clubs together). We believe that this insurance is an excellent benefit. Most importantly, it provides security to those working hard within clubs – the committees and the officers. Please note that this insurance cover is only available to our affiliated clubs. It covers claims arising from matters after the date of the inception of the policy on July 22nd 2013.
