Liability and Contracts

Contracts | Briefings | Liability Alerts | Other publications relating to Liability

CIC’s work in the area of liability is undertaken by its Liability Panel, one of CIC’s longest running committees. The panel has some 40 members consisting of representatives from CIC’s membership and others and is chaired by Frances A Paterson.

The Panel has published a number of contracts and issues Liability Briefings and Liability Alerts (all of which are listed below). Following the successful publication of the consultants’ Collateral Warranties in July 2003, a Novation Agreement was published at the beginning of March 2004.

The CIC Consultants' Contract, a contract for the appointment of consultants on major construction projects, will be published in spring 2007. View Exposure Draft
