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”.

Insurance cover for directors and officers "woefully inadequate"

January 22, 2018 Reprints

Andrew Watson, head of class action practice at Australian law firm Maurice Blackburn Pty. Ltd., said that the insurance taken out by listed companies for directors and senior officers is "woefully inadequate" and the firms should be forced to take out a minimum level of cover, Financial Review reported. Mr. Watson said that all listed companies should be required to have a minimum of $50 million Australia ($40 million) D&O cover. Companies listed on the ASX200 Australian Securities Exchange need to have a minimum of AUD 100 million cover and those listed on the ASX100 AUD 150 million, he added.
