JCT Non-Negligence insurance
What is Non-Negligence Insurance?
Non-negligence or JCT Insurance – also known as JCT 21.2.1 insurance and JCT 6.5.1 insurance – is designed to offer coverage to the contractor or property owner if a neighbouring property should suffer damage that is not attributable to negligence.
In a construction project, despite all safety precautions and regulations being followed, damage can still occur to neighbouring properties due to unforeseen circumstances. In this case, it can be difficult to attribute the damage to negligence. Non-negligence insurance covers the costs associated with such damage.
Non-negligence insurance coverage will be a sensible addition to insurance coverage in contracts of any size involving excavations, piling or demolition, neighbouring structures, and contractual requirements.
