As a member of a Residents’ Management Company, you have many legal responsibilities and may be held personally liable for any decisions or actions taken whilst working in your position as a Director or an Officer. Here at Flat Living Insurance, we recommend taking out Director’s Liability Insurance to protect yourself and any other Directors or Officers against the cost of potential compensation claims against any alleged wrongful acts.
Although they do their work voluntarily, Directors and Officers of Residents’ Management Companies are seen a legally liable for any decisions taken on behalf of their company. Further still, Directors and Officers are considered to be liable as individuals, meaning their personal assets could come into play should any legal action be taken against them.
Directors & Officers Liability Insurance protects Directors and Officers against claims arising as a result of:
-
Negligent acts, errors or omissions
-
Misstatement or misleading statements
-
Breach of duty
-
Breach of authority
As well as covering legal costs and emergency defence costs, this cover also extends towards the entity company itself (i.e. the Residents’ Management Company or the Right to Manage Company) or anybody named in the proceedings, ensuring incredibly comprehensive cover for those managing blocks of flats.
You can protect yourself and your other directors from only £90 + Insurance Premium Tax.
