In this training session, Jim Doyle from Doyles Construction Lawyers provides a detailed breakdown of latent conditions — one of the most disputed and financially significant issues in construction projects. Latent conditions can cause major cost blowouts, delays, disruption, and disputes over responsibility.
This session explains how risk is allocated, how courts interpret latent condition clauses, and how statutory protections like the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and Unfair Contract Terms can override contractual risk allocation.
This training is essential for contract administrators, principals, contractors, engineers, project managers, and consultants involved in tendering, design, pricing, site investigation and contract negotiation.
