              3. LIABILITY
                1. Employers Liability
                  1. covers the legal liability of the employer for any illness, injury or death suffered by their employees
                    1. Annual basis - not for specific projects - but most EL insurance issued on 'cautation' basis.
                      1. 'causation' basis = the policy is in force at the time any event giving rise to a claim is caused that will have to meet the claim
                        1. e.g. illness may take years to surface
                        2. if MC doesnt prove that he has taken out insurance - emp can take it out and charge MC
                          1. compulsory since COMPULSORY INSURANCE ACT 1969

                                1. 'Occurrance' basis = the policy in force from the time of the injury/ damage will respond
                                2. Professional Imdenity
                                  1. used for award of damages/costs/settlement for negligene
                                    1. IF NOTHING IS INSERTED = 'THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT FOR ANY ONE PERIOD OF INSURANCE'
                                      1. if NO is inserted then none is required
                                      2. financial cover for the legal liabilities that the insured party owes the others
                                    2. SUBROGATION
                                      1. Legal technique where the insurer steps into the shoes of the insured in order to take the benefit of any legal right or remedies that may have against 3rd party responsible for the loss
                                        1. use in loss insurances

                                          1. it stops the insurer having the right of subrogation against the other party if they caused loss
