Public liability insurance for one off productions
Sun, 21 Jan 2007, 08:03 pmAdvice sought on taking out (public liability) insurance for one off productions or for a specific number of events. I have received some literature from insurers, but I find it somewhat confusing... all, or any advice from those who've succesfully crossed this mine field would be gratefully received.

Needless to say we didn't go ahead.Does Government-State or Federal -need to set up a default insurance company for such occasions?Yes.You might try a joint venture with an established local theatre group who would let you operate under their banner.You would need to join,though.If you end up getting a better deal somewhere,let me know.
