Hi I am new to contracting and wondered if someone could help me understand the following- (Is this saying that I must get my insurer to put in writing that in the event of a claim against me, they would be paid direct by the insurers - assuming I was covered for that particular type of claim?):
The Consultant Company shall notify the insurers of the Client's interest and shall cause the interest to be noted on the Insurance Policies together with a provision to the effect that, if any claim is brought or made by the Client against the Consultant Company in respect of which the Consultant Company would be entitled to receive indemnity under any of the Insurance Policies, the relevant insurer will indemnify the Client directly against such claim and any charges, costs and expenses in respect of such claim. If the relevant insurer does not so indemnify the Client, the Consultant Company shall use all insurance monies received by it to indemnify the Client in respect of any claim and shall make good any deficiency from its own resources.
