Full Description:: With distinguished guest speaker: Lord Walker of Gestingthorpe
The session will deal with the difficulty of deciding when the cause of action arises in claims for pure economic loss, including claims against solicitors, accountants, valuers and professional advisers. This is a topic which has arisen in Australia (notably the Wardley case in the High
Court in 1992) and New Zealand, as well as in the UK. It is challenging and goes to the heart of what it means to suffer a pure financial loss.

This seminar is generously sponsored by The University of Queensland (McPherson Lecture Series) and the Bar Association of Queensland.
The lecture is followed by refreshments. Registration is essential.
