Jury service expense insurance |
PCG has taken out a jury service
expenses insurance policy which came into effect on 1 January 2006 for the benefit
of PCGPlus members. The
policy is held by PCG, which is the only policyholder, and only PCG has
direct rights under the contract of insurance. These rights are held for the benefit of PCGPlus members. Strict compliance with the terms and
conditions is required if you are to receive a benefit.
The policy is underwritten
by Brit Insurance Limited and is administered by Abbey Tax Protection (ATP) on
their behalf.
The insurers agree to
indemnify PCG for claims made on its policy in connection with loss of earnings
by PCGPlus members as a
result of jury service providing the court requires the PCGPlus member (or the PCGPlus member's employee) to be in
attendance or available on specified days. The policy covers only claims
or proceedings notified during the Period of Insurance.
The Jury Service Allowance
will be limited to a maximum of 10 days at �300 per day less a deduction of any
amount recovered from the relevant court.
In order to arrive at the
daily amount payable, the PCGPlus member
will provide details of the length and value of the current engagement from
which it will be possible to calculate a daily rate. If there is no current engagement, then the
daily rate will be calculated on the basis of the last set of accounts. In the case of a PCG member�s employee, then
the daily rate will be calculated on the basis of the gross
monthly salary.
If the Designated Member ceases
to be a member of the Policyholder prior to or during the course of any claim
or proceedings, Insurers reserve the right to deny or withdraw cover.
The Policy excludes any
claim relating to or arising from any cause, event or circumstance occurring
prior to or existing at inception of this Policy and which has or which the
Insured knew or ought reasonably to have known may give rise to a dispute by or
against the Insured.
