The Building Amendment Bill proposes changing the current building liability framework from a joint and several liability regime to a proportionate liability regime. This represents a significant shift in how liability may be allocated between parties involved in building and construction projects.
Join legal experts from Martelli McKegg for a practical 101 on the proposed proportionate liability system. They will explain how the proposed changes would work, why they matter, and provide insight into the potential implications for engineers working across the built environment.
The session will focus on the engineering profession, but the content will be relevant to anyone involved in the design, construction, consenting, or delivery of building and infrastructure projects.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions during the webinar. If you already have questions you would like answered, send it through to advocacy@engineeringnz.org ahead of the session and we will do our best to ensure it is covered.
The Building Amendment Bill is currently open for Select Committee consultation, so this is a timely opportunity to understand the proposed changes and consider what they could mean for you and your organisation. You can find out more information on the Amendment Bill here
