BrundallNavy Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Has any one else had a letter from the Broads Authority asking for a copy of your insurance, I must reply in 28 days. Doug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Interesting one is that, Doug. Without delving I wonder if the BA has the power to ask, after all you have made a declaration. I wonder why they picked on you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hi Doug, Not yet but who knows what might be in the offing. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfurbank Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Surprisingly, I haven't received one yet!! The Authority do have the power to make such a request, they just prefer not to use it in favour of the dubious self declaration. About 2 years ago they sent out 100 requests to test compliance and this was due to be repeated. You could be one of the lucky 100 this time, or it could be the start of something different. Steve Birtles has always maintained that it is for the owner to satisfy themselves that their insurance meets the requirements of the act, and not The BA. If they are asking to see a copy of your insurance, then I'm assuming they must be doing the checking properly, which is at odds to Steve's stance??

BrundallNavy Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 It does state that my declaration covers the following, covers the vessel named versus persons entitled to use it. covers a minimum £2000,000 is issued by an insurer under the Financial services act 2000, and to carry on in Great Britain. They are collecting a sample to see if the self declaration is effective. Not sure what happens if I don't comply within 28 days, does my boat self destructs.

JawsOrca Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I thought they shouldn't ask for a copy of the actual certificate as that makes them accountable.. The normally ask for the policy number and the underwriter..Although I think on of our marinas ask and I provide then... Their problem then. I wonder what will happen to those insured by you know who lol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
