Building and Construction Law Journal

Home / Insights & Opinion / Construction Law / Building and Construction Law Journal
Construction partner, Nick Gillies, has been published in the latest Building and Construction Law Journal ((2018) 34 BCL 179).

His paper (We Need to Talk about the Engineer: A New Zealand Perspective) discusses the obligations of the Engineer to the Contract, including whether they owe a duty of care in tort.  With the New Zealand construction sector experiencing both high demand and real fragility, the Engineer has a critical role in the fair administration of construction contracts and determination of a contractor’s entitlements.  A version of this paper was first presented by Nick at the 2018 Legalwise Building and Construction conference. Please click here for a copy of the paper.
