This session will posit that a recent New South Wales Court of Appeal decision has fundamentally altered legal liability in New South Wales in almost every design and building case. It will further suggest that in construction cases we have seen the effective death of proportionate liability in New South Wales. This outcome strikes at the very heart of more than two decades of practice and procedure developed under New South Wales legislation and interpretation of it in case law.
