詳情	:	This year we saw the introduction of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap 623) into Hong Kong. It introduces exceptions to our traditional doctrine of privity of contract. Potentially strangers may be able to make a legal claim under a contract which they do not sign or to which they are not a party. Why do we need this Ordinance? What are the implications for our usual construction contracts and consultancy agreements? Is there a way to use it to the advantage of the party you are representing or yourselves in the negotiation and drafting of contracts? The speaker will explore these issues in this talk.
