Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act

Join us on Thursday 11 January 2018 as Jeff Heasman returns for another interactive session for our members and their guests.

During this free one hour CPD seminar, Jeff will critically analyse the recent changes to the law which mean that there is no longer any civil liability for breach of health and safety regulations made under the Health & Safety at Work Act.

By passing the Enterprise Act, Parliament's aim was to prevent compensation windfalls to employees who were able to rely on strict liability provisions when pursuing an employer's liability claim. However, it could be argued that the change in the law has simply increased the burden on insurers and, as a result, has increased their overall costs.

This thought-provoking seminar will look at both sides of the argument and assess how best insurers can adapt to this legislation.
