Survival Tips for Novation
Date: Thursday 10 April 2025 (1:00 - 2:00pm AEST)
Although commonplace on multi-residential and even government projects, novation operates in a legislative vacuum in the sense that there is not much law to define the roles or rights of the parties involved. This absence of structure places all the more weight on the consultancy agreement and scope of services.
In our April webinar, Wendy Poulton, Principal of informed Lawyers (ACN 635 862 145) will recap the legal foundations of novation, and look at a few recent judgments and reports that shed light on consultants’ post-novation liabilities, especially on the question of what “complete” documentation might look like. We’ll cover the key liability risks in novated consultancy agreements, and ask how these marry up with the practical challenges consultants face once the project is underway.
CPD: 1 formal hour
