You may well have read previously about the insurance we can provide to enable insolvent building sub-contractors pursue adjudications. It’s worth pointing out that we’re also here for solvent builders and anyone else caught-up in construction litigation.
Construction litigation can sometimes seem like 3D chess – breach, causation and cost of rectification argued in different ways by multiple opponents, each with their own experts and often with counterclaims and claims against each other for contributions. Valiant attempts to simplify matters in a Scott Schedule seem to fall apart when the parties each end up with slightly different versions of the same Schedule!
At Temple, we’re happy to dig our way into these cases, get to grips with them and offer insurance. Policies can be adapted to suit both claimants and defendants. Disbursement funding can help meet the cost of experts and is covered by our insurance should a claim fail.
