Transfer payment

Amount paid by one pension scheme to another when its former member joins another occupational pension scheme or starts a personal pension to which his benefits are transferred. The transfer payment may be made in accordance with the scheme rules or in the exercise of a member’s right under PSA93.

Transit Clause/Duration

Institute Cargo Clause 8 (1/1/82) incorporating the warehouse to warehouse clause. Cover attaches when the goods leave the warehouse, etc., at named place of origin, continues during the ordinary course of transit, and ceases on soonest of arrival at place of storage at named destination or 60 days after discharge. If the intended destination is altered after discharge, cover ceases on commencement of transit to new destination, unless it has already ceased under the above conditions. The clause allows for trans-shipment.

Treaty firm

Firm whose head office is situated in an EEA state other than the UK and which is incorporated in that state. Automatic authorisation is given, subject to conditions that include a ‘consent notice’ from the home state regulator, to firms exercising EC Treaty rights. Authorisation by the home state regulator provides the firm with a ‘passport’ to carry on business in the UK. See SINGLE INSURANCE MARKET.

Trespass

A tort committed with ‘force and violence’ on the person, property or rights of another. All three types are actionable per se without proof of damage unlike nuisance where the interference is indirect and requires such proof. Wrongful interference with goods is covered in the Tort (Interference with Goods) Act 1977. Liability policies do not cover intentional acts but most public liability policies cover liability from accidental trespass, false arrest, false imprisonment and invasion of privacy. Some cover also exists in respect of loss of documents under professional indemnity policies.
***
Trespass consists of the entry of a person or a thing upon land in the possession of another without permission.
