    I'm an insurance broker and just to clarify... there are only 3 types on compulsory insurances in the UK
    1) RTA cover on a motor vehicle
    2) Employers Liability for anybody who employs somebody
    3) Public Liability for Horse Owners.

    He may not have cover for his own vehicle which is completely legal... however the horse kicked his car... not by accident... on puropse so the liability falls with the horses OWNER. The owner needs to have advised their company that they loan out the horse, so that this claim will be covered. Ultimately, you and your daughter have no legal responsibility for the accident.

    That's a surprise. As is comulsory insurance for anybody who employs somebody.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    There is no mandatory requirement for horses or dogs to be insured.

    Your knowledge of insurance is very poor.... you can find what i told you quite simply by doing an internet search...

    Stop handing out advice and opinions without having the basic knowledge to support it.

    I did and this is what I found:
    Public liability / third party liability cover
    Whilst having horse insurance isn’t compulsory by law, horse owners are legally liable for any damage or injury that their horses cause to others or their property. With possible scenarios including horses causing road traffic accidents, potential costs to horse owners can be substantial. Horse insurance featuring third party liability cover can help to protect owners against such costs including legal expenses and compensation claims.

    I had better tell Mrs Flyboy that she can't work for me anymore as well, seeing as I don't have this compulsory Employers Liability insurance you speak of and come to think of it, I can't can't work for my company either.

    I had better tell the dog he has to go too. ;)

    Before you give advice, I'd do a bit checking, or it might come back and bite you on the rump.

    How about checking a real website who gives relaible advice... like I don't know the FSA!!!

    And yes, if your wife is employed by you, that is breaking the law... google ELTO and then see as of April next year you should expect a hefty fine!

    I can see you are a bit petty having read all of this thread so i will leave it at that. OP you can see the advice I have left you and good luck with it.

    Can you show us the legal requirement to insure a dog or horse?

    To save the wear on my fingers, as you seem to know exactly where this information is, how about point us in the right direction?

    What has the FSA got to do with compulsory insurance. The FSA regulates the sale of insurance products, it does not force people to have the insurance. The forum seems to be full of trolls today.
    And yes, if your wife is employed by you, that is breaking the law... google ELTO and then see as of April next year you should expect a hefty fine!

    Please tell us what the law says about employing family members and Compulsory Employers Liabilty Insurance?

    What advice have you given? All you have done posted a load of uninformed nonsense, then castigated those who have challenged you.

    Maybe that is how certain "insurance brokers" work - making up laws to frighten people into buying insurance :p
