The Association maintains a Compensation Fund in order to relieve or mitigate loss sustained by any person in consequence of dishonesty or incompetence in the practise of professional surveying on the part of any member even if after the commission of the act of dishonesty or incompetence the member may have died or ceased to administer their affairs or to be a member.
To apply for grants from this fund, a request must be received in writing by the Registrar notifying them of the loss within six months after the loss came to the knowledge of the person suffering the loss or within such further time, not exceeding 18 months, as in any case may be allowed by the Council. Grants from this fund are subrogated to all other remedies that may be available, such as insurance or civil action.
