the person has the benefit of an insurance policy insuring the person against the occupational liability to which the cause of action relates, and
the amount payable under the policy in respect of that occupational liability is not less than the amount of the monetary ceiling specified in the scheme in relation to the class of person and the kind of work to which the cause of action relates,
