SYPNOSIS
At a time of rapid building and infrastructure development in Malaysia and around the globe, this may be an opportune moment for construction professionals like architects, engineers and quantity surveyors and also building owners and design and build contractors to understand their basic rights and obligations when carrying out their respective functions. Interesting issues include whether there are concurrent liabilities in contract and in tort for designers, the standard and scope of these respective duties, the differences between a designer’s liability in a design only contract and a design and build/turnkey contract, and the effectiveness of any exclusion or limitation of liability clauses.
