Must a payment claim be made in good faith? – David Levin QC and Luke Stanistreet

Construction industry be warned – James Ioannou
A significant legal reform in the last 10 years for construction professionals has been the issue of negligence and the obligation to warn. The article provides some general background to negligence and considers the standard of duty of care, as well as the case law that has discussed assessing the appropriate standard of reasonable care involving skilled professionals. It examines the developments and obligations of parties to a complex construction project, and investigates the application of proportionate liability to situations involving a breach of a duty of care arising from a failure to warn.
