NEW LAW LIMITS
CONTRACTOR LIABILITY!
Legislature Bans Type I Indemnity Clauses
Beginning 2013 legislation takes effect that protects commercial contractors and subcontractors by eliminating Type I indemnity agreements. The bill's sponsor, Senator Noreen Evans, said the new law "ensures construction contracts in California are consistent with our public policy of holding the responsible party liable." Evans added, "For too long, contractors and subcontractors have been footing the bill for injuries and damages on construction sites that were not caused by them because Type I indemnity clauses required them to do so." Under these indemnity clauses, the proponents argued, negligence and construction-defect costs are shifted from at-fault parties to non-fault parties.

Comedy Corner
The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal ideas from many is "Research". We live in a society where pizza gets to your house faster than the police. A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. The "shinbone" is a device for finding furniture in a dark room. Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with. We have enough gun control. What we need is Idiot Control. Laugh at your problems, everybody else does.
