			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #000000;">A project owner cannot be named an additional insured on a design firm&#8217;s professional liability insurance policy. The request to do this is based on a misunderstanding of how professional liability insurance works and how it differs from general liability. Rather than providing increased access to the policy in the event of a claim, the status of additional insured on a professional liability insurance policy would void coverage for the owner. This certainly is not in the owner&#8217;s best interest or in the best interest of the design professional.</span><span style="color: #000000;">  Read all the details to w</span></span>hy project owners cannot be named as additional insureds on design firm’s Professional Liability Insurance Policies at <span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.hallandcompany.com/documents/DesignProfInsuranceAdvisory.pdf">http://www.hallandcompany.com/documents/DesignProfInsuranceAdvisory.pdf</a></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The breach of a contract occurs when one or both parties to a contract fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract or one party interferes with the performance of the other party. The breach can be deliberate or accidental and may be insignificant or material to the overall performance of the contract. The problem for a consultant occurs when the contract does not address how a breach is to be addressed. In which case, the breach quickly jumps to a dispute that could have been avoided if an opportunity to cure the breach had been available.</p>
<p>A typical contract provision that gives each party an opportunity to cure a breach simply requires that both parties notify the other party if they believe that a material breach has occurred. The notice usually takes the form of a communication identifying the breach and a warning of termination that will occur if the breach is not cured within a specific period of time. The notice must, of course, be consistent with the requirements of the termination provision of the contract. Once the notice has been given, good faith bargaining can begin to cure the breach and thus hopefully avoid termination.</p>
