Contractual Indemnity for Negligent Latent Defects and Insurance Coverage
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe court considered whether certain prior court decisions regarding the scope of contractual limitation of liability clauses, specifically concerning indemnity for negligence, applied to the present dispute involving insurance coverage for latent defects discovered after construction completion. The court reasoned that the indemnity clauses in the parties' agreement, structured similarly to those in the precedent cases, were intended to encompass claims arising from latent defects, including those based on negligence, as the parties had explicitly contracted to allocate such risks, and therefore, the insurance obligation tracked the indemnity obligation, leading to the conclusion that coverage was valid for the discovered defects.
