Insurance

When people are banned they will always try to find a way to get the ban overturned or strike back at the pubwatch and sometimes this involves the possibility of legal proceedings, therefore the Pubwatch should consider how they can deal with the possible legal costs that might ensue as a result of a legal challenge or action over a ban. The best way is to take out a professional indemnity insurance. At Present we only know of three companies that provide this sort of cover to watch schemes and they are shown below, as we find others they will be either notified in our newsletter or via our website.

All requests for proposal forms for the Regent indemnity insurance must be made to Stuart Carr, Commercial Manager, Regent Insurance Group, Crown House, Augusta Place, Royal Leamington Spa, CV32 5EL, Tel: 0870 4990451.

The cost of such insurance will be individually quoted for based on the size of the watch and the levels of cover required. Please remember you will be expected to provide a copy of your rules, constitution and protocols in order for your proposal to be considered and they will be expected to follow our guidance and any Home Office guidelines.
