  • Giving professional advice for free – what is my liability?

    http://www.executiveinsights.law.com...iability-28956

    Overview
    An architect who provided professional services to her friends, free of charge and without a contract, nevertheless owed a duty of care to exercise reasonable care and skill and was therefore legally responsible for her negligence.

    Although it is an extreme example, this case nevertheless serves as an important reminder that professionals should think carefully before they offer gratuitous services to friends: Basia Lejonvarn v (1) Peter Burgess (2) Lynn Burgess [2017] EWCA Civ 254.
