However I have little direct experience of commercial contracts as opposed to domestic which are totally different beasties as far as the details, expectations and enforcement go. Generally, commercial is the more ruthless of the two industry sectors, but both are equally good at generating - a disregard for human niceties, grey hairs and ulcers for those who choose to reside at the sharp end.

| 241744 | 2004-06-06 06:23:00 | Personally I regard the conduct you refer to Metla as dishonest and immoral . Sadly it happens at every level of life . From guys using child custody disputes to get at wives (never mind the kids) to people deliberately delaying payment to a contractor cos they know that can . My explanation about penalties may sound double-Dutch . Contractors all talk about penalties . Thats the way they view liquidated damages . But strictly payments for being late or providing less than you promised, are actually damages . That is, compensation to the job owner for the contractor not performing in the specified period . Generally we avoid the word "penalty" although you will find it a bit more these days . Nevertheless it is misleading . |

So if the spa installer damages the spa during installation it is not covered, however if he smashes a window bring the spa inside then that would be covered. So in this case public liability would not help the spa retailer or the installers. | Sb0h (3744) | ||

That's when public liability insurance is required. Lo. |
