“V601 v Probuild – A case study: Superintendent's Duties, Delay Methodologies, Acceleration and more”

The Victorian Supreme Court case of V601 Developments Pty Ltd v Probuild Constructions (Aust) Pty Ltd [2021] VSC 849 (decided on 22 December 2021) traversed a range of complex areas of interest to industry stakeholders, including:

• how Principals and Superintendents should ensure that a contractor’s claims are assessed fairly;
• the consequences that can flow from the Superintendent's independence having been compromised;
• the appropriate methodology for measuring delay (i.e. prospective vs retrospective); and
• the Court’s approach to ‘constructive acceleration’ claims.

The presenter was part of the team who acted successfully for Probuild in this matter at his previous firm.

This presentation will take the form of a case study. It will briefly touch on the state of the authorities in relation to the issues referred to above, and then examine the Court’s findings in this case and the key evidence underpinning them. It will conclude with some lessons learned from the case.

The event will formally commence at 6pm AEDT and there will also be time at the end of the event for attendees to ask questions.

The event will also be followed by drinks and light snacks and will provide attendees with an opportunity to network with fellow attendees who have an interest in the construction industry and construction law.
