The National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers (NAPIT) has joined forces with Law Line UK to offer NAPIT members access to a comprehensive legal support service:
NAPIT members will be able to benefit from free legal advice and an offer of legal cover of up to £25,000. The legal cover will be helpful where there is disagreement over a contractual matter between a member and customer. It also highlights the importance of having written contracts for jobs.
If a dispute cannot be resolved by NAPIT personnel, members can contact Law Line UK's helpline.
Law Line UK will provide telephone advice as long as a written contract exists with the customer. If legal action through the courts is required, Law Line UK will appoint a solicitor to represent a member up to and including the initial trial. Only the first £50 of any costs incurred in court action in a case will be paid by the member.
NAPIT offers many other benefits to members, include a technical helpline, insurance and training course discounts and the opportunity to notify works online.
NAPIT runs a Competent Persons Scheme and is also an approved TrustMark scheme operator. Further details about NAPIT can be found at www.napit.org.uk or by calling 0870 444 1392.
