Lower Renewal
Rates for Excess Insurance
The renewal rates for the July 1, 2008 to July
1, 2009 Voluntary Excess Program, offered by the Canadian Lawyers
Insurance Association (CLIA), will now be lower at certain levels of
insurance coverage.
The $4,000,000 and $9,000,000 levels, of which
the majority of law firms purchase, will have lower renewal rates.
Also as a result of the overall success of the Program, CLIA is now
offering a 10% reduction on the gross premium payable by the firms.
In addition to the 10% premium credit firms will
receive, those firms who have been with the program continually
since the early years may receive an additional percentage credit.
This will come from the surplus made available from early-year
profit-sharing arrangements and resulting good claims experience now
emerging.
