The SCLHK One Day International Conference 2018, organized by the Society of Construction Law Hong Kong, focused on the theme "Defects, Quality and Workmanship – Presenting the Evidence." This event addressed longstanding issues in the construction industry, such as defective work and poor workmanship, by examining standard contractual provisions and the presentation of evidence in related disputes.
Key topics included discussions on defects and workmanship, the use of documentary evidence, and the roles of factual and expert witnesses. Sessions explored contractual provisions for defective work, technological advancements in evidence presentation, and best practices for witness testimony in alternative dispute resolution processes.
The conference featured a keynote address by The Honourable Rimsky Yuen, GBM, SC, JP, former Secretary for Justice, and included panel discussions with industry experts from various sectors. Attendees had opportunities for networking during a cocktail reception held prior to the conference.
This event was particularly beneficial for construction professionals, legal practitioners, and industry stakeholders seeking to enhance their understanding of quality and workmanship issues and the effective presentation of evidence in construction disputes.
