​SYNOPSIS


Engineers are involved in, one way or another, the law of contract in their work. Similarly they may be liable under the tort of negligence when performing their work. For example an engineer working in a consulting firm or a construction company will have to deal with tender documents, the Letter of Award, and so many more almost every day in their work. An engineer working in a factory may need to deal with suppliers and contractors in regards to quality of equipment, service level required in which case he has to be well-versed in supply contracts, service level agreement and at times too, construction contract. As employers and clients are becoming more litigious now, the potential of engineers facing a claim for breach of contract or breach of the duty of care under the tort of negligence has increased accordingly.

The basic doctrine of contract law is that the contracting parties should keep their promises whilst for the law of tort; the gist is essentially that people should conduct themselves so as to avoid inflicting injury on others. The rights and liabilities of parties under a contract can be established based on the contract that parties have entered into. However in the absence of an agreement, one party may still be held liable to another under the law of tort; notwithstanding that parties have never executed any agreement between them.

This seminar aims to provide an overview of the Law of Contract and Law of Tort. Topics for the seminar include the overview of Malaysian Law, Structures of the Courts, general principles of the law of contract, vitiating elements of formation of contract, discharge of contract, remedies for breach of contract. The topics to be covered under law of tort are focused on the tort of negligence.
