Occupiers Beware: Keep an Eye on Your Contractors
Brian Sunohara has written an article called “Occupiers Beware: Keep an Eye on Your Contractors“.
The article addresses a recent court decision and the steps occupiers need to take to insulate themselves from liability when they retain an independent contractor.
In the article, Brian says that occupiers cannot take a hands-off approach when relying on a contractor. Occupiers need to be proactive and have protocols to ensure the contractor is appropriately carrying out its duties.
