This article provides an overview of the current existing legislative frameworks, namely the Australian Consumer Law and the Security of Payment Acts<\/em>, to demonstrate that the current schemes are insufficient to address the endemic issues faced by the construction sector. The article explains how new mandatory codes of conduct in Australia have been enacted to provide a novel regulatory framework to address issues particular to specific industries to reconcile competing contracting interests and target unfair terms and unfair practices. The article argues that there is merit in considering such a prescribed code of conduct for the construction industry and provides an overview of what could be agreed to be included in the code.<\/p>\n Contract Works Insurance: London Market Defect Exclusions \u2013 Judicial Consideration of LEG3<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u2013 Patrick Mead<\/p>\n Contract works and contractors\u2019 all risk policies comprise a critical component of risk allocation under modern construction contracts.
