Dear Andrew,
I am interested in how you progress with this, as I am on the
recipient list.
I do not have a case to bring to your attention, but looking at
the problem from a third party liability point of view, would
designers, architectural practices and the like, have a responsibility
when designing clients projects, to bring to the attention of the
client, that the brief as proposed, might not help the client to
comply with DDA ? Even if it became apparant half way through
the project?
If the client wasn't particularly interested, and design was carried on
with without due care to DDA do you see a duty of care arising in
the design, in such circumstances?
If there were to be claims at a later date under DDA
against the client, who might look back to the designers to
apportion blame and liability!
It is a similar thing to your enquiry, but perhaps is a bit broader than
just Part M.
Regards, Glynn Williams.
