Carter Newell is delighted to
launch its latest publication – the
Professional and Management
Liability Gazette
. Joining our
extensive suite of publications
compiled to assist our clients
in their daily operations, this
Gazette is designed to provide the
insurance industry with a synopsis
of practical and noteworthy
cases concerning liability of
professionals and includes those
that would be covered under
Professional Liability, Directors’
& Officers’ and Management
Liability policies.
This Gazette contains recent
decisions considered by the
courts. This inaugural edition
focuses on decisions in the
professional sphere of financial
advisors
and
accountants,
solicitors
and
barristers,
directors and brokers, and also
considers cases relating to policy
interpretation, damages and
procedure. Of particular note is
the recent Queensland Supreme
Court decision of
Invion Limited v
SGB Jones Pty Ltd & Ors
[2014]
QSC 97, in which Carter Newell
successfully defended a disputed
claim for indemnity under a
Directors’ & Officers’ policy.
As a ‘premier’ legal service
provider with one of the
largest insurance practices in
Australia, we trust our inaugural
Professional and Management
Liability Gazette
will be a useful
guide for our readers.
