In this training session, our principal lawyer, Jim Doyle, Principal Lawyer from Doyles Construction Lawyers explains one of the most critical topics for architects, engineers, designers, certifiers, supervisors, and builders: Design Responsibility in the Construction Industry.
With the introduction of the Design and Building Practitioners Act (NSW), design liability has dramatically expanded — including non-delegable duties, economic loss exposure, personal liability, and stricter documentation standards.
This session breaks down how courts assess negligence, duty of care, causation, and liability — and what design professionals must do today to protect themselves and their organisations.
