This is a 1 hour session.

Peter Moran, one of Australia’s leading lawyers, will look at a number of actual negligence cases to help you understand some of the more common risks and how to avoid them. Areas covered will include:

• In a New South Wales Court of Appeal case, the Managing Agent sought to be indemnified following the injury of a woman slipping on a pavement outside a shopping centre. 
• Clear delineation of the duties required of Managing Agents vis-à-vis property owners can protect Managing Agents from being found liable of acting negligently. 
• How is the language of your agreement and your respective duties as Managing Agent likely to be legally interpreted?".  

Peter will outline some risk management strategies to help reduce your risk level.

 

You will leave this webinar with practical steps that you can take to reduce your risks of being exposed to a costly, time-consuming and reputation-damaging negligence claim.

• Define motivation, and what part they play
