A paper based on a talk given to a meeting of the Society of Construction Law in London on 12th October 2010
Jeffrey Brown looks at the policy wordings offered to design and build contractors seeking to obtain insurance against their design risk and liabilities, asking whether they are likely to provide contractors with the cover they need. He also considers various aspects of the insurance, emphasising that contractors need to appreciate what policies cover but also what their limitations are.
