CHAPTER 4
Liability and Insurance: Conditions
Clauses 20–25
These complicated insurance and liability clauses are dealt with by a general commentary, followed by detailed notes on the changes in the 5th edition, and completed by a key on pp. 360–3 which it is hoped will be useful as a check list in arranging or approving insurance cover.
