Duties of indemnity holder
Indemnity (Business Law)
Management Notes
Indemnity means where a person is victim of loss, compensation to him is to be provided or to save him from the loss caused by different causes.The contract of indemnity means a promise or statement of liability to pay compensation for a loss or for wrong in a transaction.Indemnity is the obligation, undertaken by one party to cover the loss or debt incurred by another. It is similar to a contingent contract, a part of general contract, and is of special nature.
The indemnity-holder can enjoy different rights under the contract of indemnity by acting prudently, with a good intention, care and with the authority or according to the direction of the indemnifier. However, the Contract Acts of both Nepal and India have not made any clear-cut provision in respect of duties of the indemnity holder with the indemnifier. But the rights of the indemnifier are the duties of the indemnity-holder. Hence, the following things can be presented as the duties of the indemnity-holder are:
i) To act prudently.
ii) To act carefully and not negligently.
iii) To act with good intention and
iv) To follow the direction or to act with the authority of the indemnifier.
