How does Management Liability Insurance work?
Management Liability Insurance in action
A teacher at a high school makes a complaint to the Fair Work Commission claiming the school's Principal was placing unreasonable pressure on her to take on board additional duties.
The complaint is dismissed and the Principal cleared of any wrongdoing, however, legal costs in defence of the allegation amount to $90,000.
Because Management Liability Insurance is in place, CCI can cover the legal expenses.
