Victoria Square: Changes to legislation could leave architects ‘at risk’

Ciarán Fox, Director of RSUA, said he supports the executives desire to act quickly but parts of the legislation could put architects at risk.

“While no-one has set out to make innocent people liable for the faults of others, this legislation blows that possibility wide open,” he said.

“For example, an 85-year-old architect who has done nothing wrong could potentially be held liable for defective building materials in a housing project she designed when she was 55.

“This legislation would not hold the supplier of the faulty material liable.”

BBC News NI has contacted the Department for Communities for a response.
