Awight felix:biggrin:

so the situation with two self employed arbz working as a team, each with their own insurance is a total no go then? especially when they are working together eg rigging, chipping, highways etc

 

Yes of course it's a no go. 1 would HAVE to be working for the other, OR 1 would have to cancel their insurance. Try taking out 2 insurance policies on the same car and see how far you get when you come to claim...

Hi mate. Each insurance company would argue the toss ad infinitum that the other worker was the employer. I can't remember the exact legal quote but it is something to do with two masters. :001_rolleyes::001_smile:

hmmm by that token how come insurers are happy to insure individuals who climb - even the insurers must know that there needs to be two people present during climbing operations......

There is another option, that they could form a partnership as a legal entity and obtain insurance that way :001_smile:

I always find it odd that insurance companies will insure anyone doing treework...whether they are qualified or not, with tickets or without. Seems a bit daft really. I guess they are a business in the end and will take anybodies money!
