Join Harry Pangli FCIAT, Deputy Chair of CIAT’s Liability Taskforce, CIAT representative on CIC Liability Panel and member of CIAT’s Documents Taskforce amongst others and Darren Hewitt, Director, Claims and Risk Management at MFL Insurance Group Limited who administer CIAT Insurance Services, as they answer some frequently asked questions that have been received in from our members, and explore how professional indemnity insurance plays a critical role in protecting members and clients. They also edify us on the changes to limitation periods which is outlined in the Building Safety Act, increasing simple contract liability from 6 to 15 years and retrospectively 30 years from the dates of publication (1992).
