Insurance Advisory Alert - Blake Dawson Waldron Lawyers

In this alert:

  • Indemnification of directors and officers
  • Amendments to the Trade Practices Act 1974
  • The Trade Practices Act now imposes restrictions on a company to indemnify its officers against a liability to pay a pecuniary penalty for a contravention of the restrictive trade practices provisions. Companies need to review existing indemnities to ensure that they do not breach the Trade Practices Act, as well as all Directors & Officers insurance policies to ensure coverage is appropriate.
