My VDS covers me for anything brought to UK affiliated courts but not for anything in local courts.

&lt;p&gt;The legal concerns we have in the UK are definitely first world problems, clients in Africa tend to be much more grateful and are certainly more civilised than some we encounter here&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in addition the financial value of animals and the work done on them is much lower&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However I can see why one might be concerned as having cover is a necessary fact of life here. It might be worth checking with the vets you will be working with to see what they do about indemnity cover - I would suspect they don&amp;#39;t have it and would not expect to need it either&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
