Fool if you think it's over - 2006 - Building 271(8427) 21 April 2006, 69(1) .
Warns that consultants and contractors are not necessarily immune from legal liability once the original client has transferred their interest in a property. The benefit of a building contract can be assigned to a new owner, who can then sue the contractor as if it had been the employer under that contract. The benefit of a claim for a latent defect can be assigned, regardless of the fact that the seller has recovered their loss through the sale.
