By: Series: Building ; 265(8160) 3 November 2000, 63(1)Publication details: 2000Subject(s): Summary: Looks at the confusion caused by unclear insurance clauses in building contracts. Gives the example of fire damage to embassy buildings in Belgravia, on which government insurers had to pay out for rather than the subcontractors on site. Also examines the recent case of "Casson v Ostley" where the contract clause prevented the claimant receiving damages for a fire caused by the contractor's negligence.
