Costs of Business Insurance: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. John Gleeson:
There is also a provision whereby somebody can claim up to two years after the incident. Most pubs, including ours, have 30 days CCTV footage at a maximum and then it is gone. If someone comes in and says, "I fell in your place four months ago", we have no evidence and the claim can still proceed, even though we have no CCTV footage. A 30-day rule should be easy enough to implement.
