This text investigates the complex intersection of insurance obligations and liability frameworks within the Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) construction contract forms. F. Eaglestone provides a technical analysis of the contractual requirements placed upon contractors and employers, specifically addressing the shifts in risk allocation necessitated by the November 1986 amendments. The work serves as a practical guide for legal and construction professionals to navigate the nuances of indemnity, insurance coverage, and liability limitations inherent in standard building contracts.

The text functions as a specialized reference for practitioners requiring a granular understanding of the 1986 regulatory updates to JCT documentation. Its focus on the practical application of these clauses suggests a high degree of utility for those managing construction risk during that specific historical period.
