520			_aDiscusses the net contribution clause and the common misconceptions concerning the detail of the principle and the fact that its complexity disguises its intention. Net contribution clauses effectively reduce a party's share of liability to reflect their share of fault. Without such a clause the warrantor may well have to stand alone, unable to divide the damages payable with others who were also at fault. On design-and-build jobs, the division of risk between contractor and consultant can be particularly contentious and needs a commonsense approach. Net contribution clauses work much more in the client's favour because they do not make the warranty conditional on similar warranties from the third parties.
