Policy No: 4090
Coverage afforded to members shall be strictly, equitably, and consistently interpreted by the NCSIG staff and the claims administrator. All parties shall agree to the covenants of good faith and fair dealing. Parties involved in a dispute shall refrain from exerting undue influence upon the staff, the claims administrator, or the Board of Directors.
When a question or dispute arises regarding the applicability of coverage(s) provided by the NCSIG as determined by the NCSIG Board of Directors, to an occurrence or claim against a covered member, either the covered member or the NCSIG may make a written request for appeal and/or arbitration. Where such a written request is made, appeal and/or arbitration shall be a condition precedent to the filing of any civil action concerning or in any way arising out of such question or dispute.
Coverage disputes arising out of coverages exceeding the NCSIG’s SIR, which are provided by the Northern California Regional Excess Liability Fund and/or the Schools Excess Liability Fund, will be determined in accordance with their arbitration/coverage dispute policies.
