Quote of the Month
“Time and again it has been reiterated that the imposition of non-delegable duty of care are highly facts sensitive. Accusations outside of well-established principles to say that such non-delegable duty of care exists needs to be properly scrutinised and applied with extreme caution, given that non-delegable duty is inconsistent with fault-based principles and is exceptional.” - Zabariah Yusof FCJ |
