4733 Under a contract by which the supplier of windows to be installed in homes constructed by a developer agreed to indemnify the developer for liability resulting from the supplier's fault, but to defend the developer in suits arising from the supplier's work without regard to the supplier's fault, the supplier's duty to provide or pay for a defense begins as soon as an action is brought against the developer arising from leaks in the windows and does not depend on fault or the outcome of that litigation.CitationCRAWFORD v WEATHER SHIELD (Defective Windows) 44 C4 541 [See: Crawford v Weather Shield (RevGrtd) 136 CA4 304, P/AT 3/06; Casey v Overhead Door 74 CA4 112, T/AT 9/99; Jimenez v Superior Court 29 C4 473, T/AT 1/03; Regan Roofing v Superior Court 24 CA4 425, T/AT 5/94]
