Law is often seen as a safe-haven for pessimists. Since contracts are intended to address a range of circumstances, they will typically be drafted so as to allocate responsibility between parties for when things go wrong. Allocating responsibility for design can often be very challenging, raising difficult questions about different types of information, where such information has come from, what analysis needs to be done and what standards should be used when making use of the information. Many contractors in the UK construction industry often complain that current trends in contracting require them to assume increasing levels of liability for design outputs. |
