What’s New: In Brief (October 01, 2008)

Marsh Canada Limited and XN Risk have jointly announced the launch of a program that combines comprehensive directors and officers liability (D&O) protection with an insured private health care treatment plan.
The plan provides key directors and officers with priority access to leading health care treatment.
The program is the first executive risk insurance product of its kind to be offered to Canadian public corporations. It is intended to provide the benefits of a combined property and casualty and living benefits insurance product, the company reports in a release.
The new program, known as Director LifelineSM, is available at Marsh. It is underwritten by XN Risk and insured through certain underwriters at Lloyd’s of London.
