This book examines the concept of common law or implied indemnity, and indemnity arising from a contractual relationship. Indemnification generally involves the transfer of risk from one party to another.

The topics covered will be useful to a wide array of lawyers, legal scholars, and other practitioners or individuals dealing with indemnity issues. This is particularly true when determining, interpreting and/or clarifying the client's rights and obligations in this area, thereby potentially streamlining or eliminating litigation.
