Pension Trustees Liability
Pension Trustees Liability
Directors and Senior Managers can face claims from a variety of parties, including: employees, clients and governing bodies. A Director’s personal liability is unlimited.
A Director’s personal assets are at risk if they breach their duties as a Director and/or if they are in breach of an Act of Parliament e.g. The Companies Act 2006, The Employment Act 2008, The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, The Equality Act 2010, The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (Whistleblowing), The Bribery Act 2010, The Health and Safety (Offences) Act 2008 etc. In addition, Directors may face investigations from regulators e.g. The Financial Conduct Authority, The Health & Safety Executive, HM Revenue & Customs, The Department for Business Innovation & Skills (Formerly the DTI) etc
Claims may be triggered by inadvertent discrimination, non-compliance and/or allegations of mis-management. The consequences of such allegations can be severe, including legal expenses, hefty fines and even jail time. Technological, political, regulatory and environmental changes, have all combined to increase risk exposures for Directors and Senior Managers.
