WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND INJURY MANAGEMENT (ACTS OF TERRORISM) ACT 2001 - SECT 4

4 .         Permitting exclusion of cover for acts of terrorism

        (1)         WorkCover WA may give an approved insurance office permission in writing to exclude certain liability from the liability for which it insures employers but the exclusion of liability attributable to an act occurring after the final day is not permitted.

        (2)         Before permitting the exclusion of liability, WorkCover WA has to be satisfied that it would be reasonable to characterise the liability as being attributable to an act of terrorism.

        (3)         The Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981 does not require the approved insurance office to insure an employer for liability to the extent that it is permitted under this section to be excluded.

        [Section 4 amended: No. 42 of 2004 s. 171(4) and 174.]
