From the Back Cover
Buildings fail. The act of building involves risk and, in the event of damage occurring after construction, it is often hard to identify responsibility. This book describes the framework in which lawyers, insurers, contractors and clients dealing with liability operate.
Case Studies in Post-Construction Liability and Insurance presents the combined experience and expertise of members of CIB Commission W87 from 19 countries. Using hypothetical and real-life case studies, the contributors describe and analyse how post-construction defects in buildings are dealt with, how claims are handled and resolved, and how disputes resolved or avoided.
Case studies are taken from the following countries:
Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Kuwait, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, The United States, Uruguay.
This comparative, international review of law and practice liability is an essential reference for construction lawyers insurers and other senior practitioners and other senior practitioners and managers in industry, based on research and analysis by CIB (Conseil International du Batiment) as part of the CIB series programme.
