About the Course |
This course is based on how to manage the changing nature of, and the number of liability issues arising from the use of contracts for services from both individuals and the corporation as a whole.
It examines the issues of contractor control in a project management setting, reporting requirements, conditions of contract, contract oversight, and the application of standards.
** A recent High Court ruling - Coote v Forestry will be examined, and the implications for owners and clients hiring contractors described.
This course will also examine the ‘other side of the fence’ – what contracting companies need to understand to ensure they are managing the risks associated with their contracts. The emergence of the precautionary principle into safety law will be discussed, and what this means to both sides of the contract table.
This course is leading edge, and is designed to give pro-active managers a “heads-up” on impending changes to the way in which risk is managed within the law in Australia. There have been a number of significant changes in the last few months, and these will flow down into everyday impacts on contracting parties.
Suggestions are made on how to best manage these changes, and what sort of information executive managers will now require to meet their standard of care responsibilities.
Case studies will be discussed and examined throughout this course and participants will be encouraged to share experiences and network solutions to issues.
