Download or read book Contractual Indemnities written by Wayne Courtney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Promises of indemnity are found in many kinds of commercial contracts, not just contracts of insurance. This book examines the nature and effect of contractual indemnities outside the insurance context. It is the first work to provide a detailed account of the subject in English law. The book presents a coherent theory of the promise of indemnity while also addressing important practical issues, such as the construction of contractual indemnities. The subject is approached from two perspectives. The foundations are laid by examining general principles applicable to indemnities in various forms. This covers the nature of indemnity promises; general principles of construction; the determination of scope; and the enforcement of indemnities. The approach then moves from the general to the specific, by examining separately particular forms of indemnity. Included among these are indemnities against liability to third parties, and indemnities against default or non-performance by third parties. The book states English law but it draws upon a considerable amount of material from other common law jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore. It will appeal to readers from those countries.

Download or read book Stephens on Contractual Indemnities written by Richard Stephens and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indemnities have become commonplace in modern commercial contracts, with a modern commercial contract often containing numerous indemnities and using familiar expressions such as "save and hold harmless". However, few lawyers can say with confidence what such expressions mean or even what the advantage of an indemnity is over a straight breach of warranty claim. Along with their popularity in modern drafting, cases are starting to come along at an increasing rate and the courts are having to address exactly what indemnities are and what they mean in practice. Indeed, from these same cases it can be seen what the pitfalls are for the lawyer involved in drafting or negotiating indemnities in commercial contracts. While cases on indemnities go back centuries, this book focuses on the recent cases to draw out the practical implications for lawyers. There are many cases on the subject and the decisions are not always easy to reconcile, but this book tries to draw out the lessons that can be learned from the cases to demystify the indemnity and explain its practical implications. It is strange that the indemnity has become so popular while at the same time there is a dearth of academic or practical literature on the subject. This book attempts to state in a coherent fashion a modern "law of indemnities" for the modern commercial lawyer. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Richard Stephens has been in practice for some forty years, working primarily in the technology sector.
