BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

A quarter of directors lack D&O insurance: Report

August 20, 2018 Reprints

A report by the Institute of Directors in New Zealand found that nearly 25% of local executive and non-executive directors do not have directors' and officers' liability insurance, Asia Insurance Review reported. Tim Grafton, chief executive of the Insurance Council of New Zealand, said that the directors may have to pay for legal costs, damages and fines from their own pocket if sued individually. Mr. Grafton said that directors could be held accountable under laws such as the Companies Act, the Fair Trading Act and the Health and Safety at Work Act among others.
