The insured was contracted to design, build and install a piece of machinery for a food manufacturing company. The machine was completed and in the year that followed, the insured was sued on the grounds that the purchaser was unable to get the machine up and running to the standards required due to a design error. The complaint alleged breach of contract and warranty and sought a refund of the machine purchase price. The two parties went to mediation with the matter being resolved out of court and a settlement figure being agreed. The insured’s policy covered the settlement and defence costs.
