No Incompetence Or Negligence In Architect's Plans Says Witness
An opinion that the six drawing plans (Court exhibits) displayed no incompetence or negligence on the part of the architect responsible for them was expressed by Mr H. J. Tebbutt, partner of Leigh and Orange, when he gave evidence in the architect's claim for fees against a building contractor heard before the Senior Puisne Judge, Mr Justice T. J. Gould in the Supreme Court this morning.
Mr Tebbutt also said that he saw no evidence of wastage of building land in the working drawings for the crection of 13 houses on Mody Road and eight houses on Minden Avenue,
Witness further stated that there was no truth in the allegation that in drawing the plans for the four houses already built on Minden Avenue that the architect responsible for them had wasted a considerable arca of building land.
