mathew Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 WOOHOOO YES CONSTRUCTION RELATED!!!!!!! slowly reading through stuff here and starting to make a bit of sense. the overall question goes something like this..... how has the doctrine of privity of contract and economic loss in the law of tort lead to the increase in usage of collateral warranties?

RobSoarer2.5TT Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh a law question relating to construction. Or is it more contract related, what module are you doing and what level are you at. Ok first port of call is http://www.a-level-law.com/ Loads of info there, that can be useful up to about Early Degree stuff. What exactly do you want to know? collateral warranties are normally between a Sub-Contractor and the purchaser/ Tennant. In that...................... Budget Builders are employed by Perfect Hotels to build a hotel. Perfect want a collateral warranty for Steel Work. Budget Sub-Contract the Steel work to J.Smith Steel. Budget builders arrange a Collateral Warrenty between J.Smith Steel and Perfect Hotels. This is done to remove liability from the Main Contractor, Budget Builders. If the building falls down because the steel fails it's J.Smith Steel who pays. It removes risk from the contractor whilst giving the client/ purchaser satisfaction in having a technically an insurance on the steel work.

RobSoarer2.5TT Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Edit my previous post that was from a QS point of view. The warranties true purpose protect in terms of design. I just need to know from which aspect your looking at it. Designer/ Contractor/ Client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
