An Introduction to JCT Insurance Clauses - Archor LLP Webinar - September 2021

This is a recording of a webinar hosted by Archor, specialist construction lawyers, on 16 September 2021. The webinar is aimed at giving you (as a project manager, contract administrator or other party in the contractual chain) an understanding of how insurance works under the JCT suite of contracts. - Do you know the difference between joint names and composite insurance? - What are rights of subrogation? - What are non-vitiation rights? - How exactly does Option C work? - What is the RPA insurance scheme? - When does the Joint Fire Code apply and how does it link to insurance? For those involved with JCT contracts, either putting them in place or administering them, it is imperative you understand the basics behind the contractual insurance provisions and know the answers to the above questions. The speakers are two Archor partners, Andrew Rush and Carolyn Porter. Andrew has years of experience trying to convince people to read the insurance provisions in JCT contracts, and had made it something of a personal crusade to join him. Carolyn is involved both in negotiating and drafting construction contracts, including the insurance provisions, and dealing with disputes. Archor is a boutique construction law firm. Construction law – developments, disputes, and ad hoc advice – is all we do. Led by our six partners, we provide expert advice to clients in a way that is personal, responsive, and great value for money. Everyone at Archor has years of experience of working in the construction industry and being involved in projects big and small. So our knowledge and experience can be taken as read – but it’s the way we deliver our advice which sets us apart: we want you to receive a level of service well beyond your expectations. While naturally we try and make sure what we say in our webinars is accurate, it shouldn’t be relied upon on its own, and it is no substitute for legal advice. If you have a query, please contact us and we’d be happy to discuss it with you. For more information about this webinar or Archor generally, visit archor.co.uk.
