Article Abstract:
United Kingdom law caters for the partial apportionment of blame for defective work between multiple parties within the construction industry. It will not penalize all third parties if they are considered to be irrelevant to the case. The case of Birse Construction verses Haiste and Newton is described. The implications of the Civil Liability (Contribution) Act 1978 are pointed out.
