Let's see... Pilots are doing something legal, something not prohibited by
their insurance, and the insurance company has the authority to decide
whether or not to pay if there is a claim? Nope. The insurance pays.
Usually, they pay even if the pilot(s) were doing something illegal or
stupid.

Don't let fear of insurance companies prohibit you from doing things that
are legal and that you deem safe.

Maybe so, but if something goes wrong, it's the insurance company that
decides if they're going to pay for it...

I hate when people say "check with the insurance company". Hell, if
they
had their way, you'd never leave the ground except that one day a year
when
the visibility was perfect and the winds were forecast to be zero, and..
oh,
by the way, they'd prefer you have a CFII in the right seat.

Beyond the FAR's and club rules, the PILOT(s) decide when and where
formation flight is appropriate.

Check with your insurance company. They almost certainly won't cover
anything even remotely close to formation flight. Then just tell this
guy
that the insurance company said "no". That should solve your problem,
without any need to pass a by-law.
