Abstract
Doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and surveyors etc. are all professional. A “Professional” is an acquisitive concept, acquisitive of aspirations and expectations – but also of liabilities. So a professional generally owes certain duty of care to his or her client. Breach of such duty may give rise to liability in the tort of negligence or under contract. Nowadays, claims for professional negligence are increasingly common. This is a result of a combination of various factors – increasing demand for services, specialization and higher standards and intolerance of bad performance by highly educated societies. In this seminar, Ms Mun will discuss the basic principles of the tort of negligence and highlight recent case law and trends.
Priority will be given to ICES members, thereafter place will be allocated on the “first come, first served” basis.
