Summary

In an action which alleged negligence of a firm of architects, the expert evidence before the judge was given by 3 engineers and 1 architect. The Court of Appeal noted that the questions put to the engineers included questions relating to the nature and extent of the professional duties owed by the architects to their clients. The court's conclusion was that

'little reliance can be placed on their answers to these particular questions, which relate to a profession other than their own'.
