Abstract

In this paper, James provides an overview of the WELCAR 2001 Offshore Construction Project Policy and discusses, from a legal perspective, some of the issues which have arisen in practice in respect of its (and thereby similarly worded Construction All Risk (CAR) policies) interpretation and application. James also utilises a number of case examples from different common law jurisdictions.
