Risk Management on Contract Waivers

All Contracts or Agreements negotiated on behalf of the University must be done in conjunction with the University Solicitor's Office.

Occasionally during the negotiation of a Contract or Agreement, there may be a request for a variation to the standard wording. Any variations must be discussed with the Solicitor's Office, who will review the legal implications of the variation and discuss the impact on the University's insurance cover with the Risk and Insurance team.

Should it be determined that the contract cannot proceed without the insurance requirements being waived, the Risk and Insurance team will ask that you present your request explaining why the variation should be allowed and what contingencies you have in place to protect the University in the event that there is little or no insurance cover.
