Liability for fitting services - outsourced
2 Answers
I am a sole trader in the fireplace business for the last ten years and worried about the increase in our ' blame claim' society. I outsource all my fittings/installations to Corgi approved engineers, so they are not directtly employed by me. If there was a major issue with a poorly fitted fireplace would I be personally liable or the engineer who was responsible for fitting the fireplace.
