Cottam, G.

Why subbies should proceed with caution. - 1999 - Construction News (6621) 24 June 1999, 31(1) .

Discusses the case "British Telecommunications v James Thomson and Sons (Engineers)", where the House of Lords found that the domestic subcontractors (JT) owed a duty of care to BT and could therefore be sued by the insurance company, following a fire. Concludes that domestic subcontractors working under JCT contracts should ensure that, when the employer provides the insurance, their own insurance covers them for negligence.
