Description

When you chose a technical profession, you may not have expected to have to deal with law. Yet that is the case. Before you can start working on a project, you will have to be commissioned to do so, enter into an agreement. So what should such an assignment contain? When is there an actual agreement? Does an agreement always have to be in writing? Do your general terms and conditions (DNR 2011) apply to that agreement? What if the client has its own general terms and conditions? Which ones apply then? What if the principal does not agree to the DNR 2011. If you have an agreement and start working, what do you do if the client asks additional questions or adjusts the principles? Can you always be reimbursed for the associated additional costs? What to do if the client holds you liable. And finally, what rights do you have if the principal does not pay or does not pay on time?

No entrepreneur and/or engineer likes to come into contact with the law, as it often means a lot of hassle and, in the worst case, a visit to the court. But precisely some knowledge of the law can prevent a lot of problems (and a visit to court). In a lecture tailored to the daily practice of the engineer, Mr R.J. Kwaak discusses the main legal aspects you face as an engineer and how best to deal with them.
