| | The Law Report - 19/02/2002: Skyrocketing Public Liability Insurance Premiums |
 | | Damien Carrick: Philip Maguire of the Insurance Council of Australia, who includes advertising by lawyers and no-win no-fee litigation as some of the 'changes in the environment' that should be looked at. |
 | | While in Australia we have various State-based statutory no-fault compensation systems for injuries on the roads and in the workplace, in New Zealand this system is extended to all forms of personal injury, whether sustained at work, on the operating theatre table, on the roads, or at the beach. |
 | | The premiums are based on the risks to their own employees, and so, I'm just looking at a list here: shellfish fishing for example, while the average is 90-cents per $100 payroll, shellfishers, the employers of those people, pay about $4 per $100, whereas if you run a secondary school you pay 16-cents their $100. |
