Other Key Facts
Standard Sum Insured: $100K per claim / $250K in the Aggregate;
With Contractual disputes:
Minimum amount in dispute: $10,000 ($3,000 for personal cover)
We automatically cover all* existing and new contacts
(*standard cover excludes construction and employment contracts but these can be included as optional extras).
Excludes known circumstances at inception and new circumstances within first 90 days of inception.
With the higher limits and cover for fines & penalties available under traditional Management Liability policies, we would see the LEXI policy as a key part of an overall insurance program, and not as a replacement for Management Liability.
We can generally consider any business (other than crowd control, government departments, statutory bodies, armed or emergency services) with turnovers not exceeding $30mil.
