PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE EXPLAINED, Frances Paterson, RIBA Publications, £19.95,126 pages

Robert Fenwick Elliott

To outsiders, insurers can seem a curious breed, sometimes taking highly arcane legal points on their insurance policies, and sometimes treating their customs and practices as of much more importance than the strict legal position. This short and very practical book will be of considerable help, not only to those that have to obtain and maintain professional indemnity insurance, but also to lawyers called upon to advise in relation to claims involving professional indemnity insurers.
