Slightly different issue, but in the US if you hire a contractor to renovate your house and they are not insured and following workman's comp rules, you will very likely be sued if one of their employees hurts him/herself on your property. Some people hire cheap contractors without realizing this. Any time you hire a contractor make sure they are licensed, bonded, and insured before they set foot on your property.

This is more akin to what Apple is getting away with by sub contracting to suppliers in the developing world. https://www.araglegal.com/individuals/learning-center/topics/home-and-property/avoiding-house-lien-during-remodeling https://www.araglegal.com/individuals/learning-center/topics...
