Description

A provision in a subcontract that the subcontractor agrees to assume to the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities that the Contractor [by the main contract] assumes to the [owner of the project] imposed the same obligations on the subcontractor to indemnify the contractor against claims arising out of the performance of the subcontract as the main contract imposed on the contractor to indemnify the owner, architect, their agents and employees against claims arising out of the performance of the main contract [797-799]; there was no merit to the subcontractor's contention that its indemnity obligation should be limited to claims against the owner [799]. A provision in a subcontract by which the subcontractor agreed to indemnify the contractor against claims arising out of the performance of the subcontract was enforceable despite the provisions of G. L. c. 152, § 23, releasing the subcontractor from all tort claims of its injured employee. [799-800]
