Gal-on petitions HCJ [High Court of Justice] on harassment [Israel]

Meretz Chair MK Zehava Gal-On petitioned the High Court of Justice on Sunday to prevent the AIG insurance company from selling an insurance policy that includes coverage for high-ranking corporate employees accused of sexual harassment...Gal-On released a statement saying that the insurance policy conveys to the policyholders that the way is open for them to sexually harass their subordinates and thus encourages sexual harassment...AIG Israel's CEO Hava Friedman-Shapira emphasized Sunday that the company's policy only covers the legal expenses prior to the delivery of the verdict and does not cover expenses accrued following a sexual harassment conviction. "The policy does not cover - under any circumstances - people who will be convicted. The policy does not insure for any criminal conviction. If the person is guilty, the policy does not cover his ensuing expenses."
