 Online Talk 

Understanding Causation & Negligence

in Law of Tort in Construction Industry

Synopsis

Causation is common to all 3 branches of torts including negligence. For a causation to be established in court, first, a tort must be the direct cause of an injury. Secondly, the plaintiffs must establish "proximate cause" of the injury evaluated in terms of foreseeability. These lay the requisites for the establishment of duty of care to prove negligence, without which at the point of breach, the plaintiff will not recover damages for the pecuniary losses sustained.

In this session, Dr Zul will explain on causation, negligence and duty of care with real-life court cases such as Donoghue vs Stevenson, Home Office v Dorset Yacht Co Ltd, McKew v Holland, Spartan Steel & Alloys Ltd vs Martin & Co (Contractors) Ltd, Cattle vs Stockton Waterworks Co., Murphy v Brentwood District Council, Hedley Byrne & Co Ltd vs Heller & Partners Ltd, Yong & Co vs Wee Hood Teck Development Corp., Uda Holdings Bhd vs Koperasi Pasaraya Malaysia Bhd etc.
