I know it’s a standard clause - that is exactly my point. Nothing in BASC contract to say its first resort ( not a legal term anyway) anymore than any of the others says theirs is or isn’t. All the others carry the same clause and may just as easily adopt in practice the same claims handling procedure . BASC need FCA because of the structure of their business , it’s got nothing to do with claims handling practices where dual insurances exist . All insurance is Regulated. You have chosen to in effect slag off all shooting insurance arrangements except BASC, or is it just some? Where is your evidence? Do tell so we can all avoid those rogues. Or are you just doing a smoke and mirrors job on behalf of BASC?

Stagboy - can you check your facts please? see BASC online liability policy wording Condition 5 “Other Insurances”

I have noted David BASC edict regarding shooting outside the law . There are many laws I could break ranging from Sunday shooting in Norfolk, using a Section 5 firearm or shooting over a dog that has not been microchipped. Could he please specify exactly which law he is referring to and where, specifically ,the insurance documentation made available to members states that. Also , in whose judgment will I have been deemed to be outside the law - his or by conviction in a Criminal Court or something in between?

Anybody know who eventually took this over and whether there is any possibility of buying a flight/day?

What terrific Lots are being offered! Hopefully should raise a goodly sum. I trust that the Club has specific Public and Products Liability insurance in place to meet any claims in respect of injury or damage that might arise from any of the Lots. An on-line auction open to anybody sounds like " Non Mutual Trading " ( to use BASC speak) so there would be no cover under the BASC insurance. That could leave the members liable up to the extent of their personal wealth if the clubs assets are insufficient to cover damages and legal costs. All very unlikely, I know, but what if ....?
