Details :

Building Management Disputes, in particular water seepage disputes are very common among occupiers in a multi-storey building, especially for aged buildings.  The occurrence of water seepage in a flat will no doubt cause much inconvenience and interference to the quiet enjoyment of the occupiers and may even cause distress to them.  Yet the resolution of water seepage disputes would quite often involve complicated factual and legal issues as well as upsetting relation with neighbours.  This poses some challenges to the parties' representatives as well as the third party neutral.

 

This seminar will deal with the legal and technical aspects of water seepage claims, with a brief mention on the relationship aspect.
