I've never argued that point.

There have been several recent cases. Perhaps becuase the people involved actually had PI and could defend themselves, it never got a lot of publicity?

If you're a member of the PCG (and if you're not, why not?) you get access to fairly cheap insurance through their affiliates Randell Dorling

Can anybody recommend and good insurance company. Thanks in advice.
