Exhibited Animals Protection

Amendment (Insurance)

Regulation 2003

under the

Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986.

IAN MICHAEL MACDONALD, M.L.C.,

Minister for Agriculture

Explanatory note
At present, it is a condition of an authority under the Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986 that authorises a person to exhibit animals that the holder of the authority maintains insurance approved by the Director-General. The insurance is required to cover any liability of the holder for death, injury or damage caused by an animal exhibited by the holder or by an escaped animal. The object of this Regulation is to change the requirements relating to insurance so that:

(a)	the policy of insurance must provide cover against any liability of the holder of the authority, or an agent or servant of the holder, for death, injury or damage that arises out of or in connection with an activity authorised by the authority (not limited to death, injury or damage caused by animals), and
(b)	the policy of insurance must provide cover of an amount approved by the Director-General.

This Regulation is made under the Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986, including section 28 (1) (a) and section 53 (the general regulation-making power).
