The Executive will be asked to agree that indemnities and their terms are granted
Received a report concerning The Local Authorities (Indemnities for Members and Officers) Order 2004 which gave specific power for the Council to grant indemnities, and/or to take out insurance, to cover the potential liability of Members and officers in a wide range of circumstances.
Agreed, in order to protect Members and officers against claims, that the Council grant an indemnity to Members and to officers of the Council in the terms set out in the report, and authorise the Head of Strategic Finance and Audit to secure appropriate additional insurance to cover more of the Council’s liability under this indemnity, in so far as he is of the opinion that such insurance would be financially prudent.
