A slippery slope

摘要

Rachel Barnes A consultant wrote a site investigation report for a developer, who sold the site to another developer, whose property was later damaged by a land slip. Now who do you think got sued? In my article of 21 April I considered the effect of an assignment by a client of the rights under a contract to a purchaser of the property or site. The point was that the purchaser may be able to sue the original contractor and the original consultant.
