Construction Law




In my very last semester, construction law plays an important role to widen my knowledge before I work in the construction industry. It provides an understanding of principles of construction laws and its application. The main objective of this subject is to understand the general principles of contract law and formation of a contract and remedies in the event of breach. We can learn about case law which supports the general principle of contract law. Secondly, it can help us to understand the roles and liabilities of parties involved in the contract. It also used to appreciate the laws relating to suspension and determination, payments, contractual claims and so on. In short, it covers most of the legal issue for whole construction process.

The lecturer of this subject is Mr. Wong Chong Wei. He is knowledgeable and full of experience in this field. He always share the real life example which he encountered in the lecture class which makes us to understand the principle of law easier. In the tutorial class, we are required to present the topic that Mr Wong lectured in the previous week. In the seminar, 2 person would form a group and present the topic based on our understanding and findings and also prepare 2 questions each presenter to ask the audience after the presentation. I could learn a lot in the seminar no matter being a speaker or audience. The presentation topic of my group was law relating to payment. I was required to have a role play session with my group mate which I found it interesting. It was interesting to be an audience as well because Mr Wong would ask some challenging questions which required critical thinking and he encourages audience involvement. 

Besides, this module required us to prepare a report as the only assignment. Lecturer has selected the group members for us randomly. Each group has different topic for the preparation of the report. The topic of my group was regarding Time at Large. I had to find and research from many law books and online resources. It was good that I can learn a lot from doing research by myself and also try to think whether the principle is applicable. This assignment helped me to improve my communication skills in order to work with different people.
