acceptance doctrine

acceptance doctrine. Construction law. The principle that, once an owner accepts the work of a contractor, the contractor is not liable to third parties for an injury arising from the contractor’s negligence in performing under the contract, unless the injury results from a hidden, imminently dangerous defect that the contractor knows about and the owner does not know about. — Also termed accepted-work doctrine. [Cases: Negligence 1205(8). C.J.S. Negligence § 601.]
