Section 14 of this Ordinance relieves the Govern- ment and any Officer of the Government from legat Hability in respect of requiring buildings or works, other than Government buildings or works, to be erected or carried out upon designs or plans, or of type, con- struction or material approved of by the Government or by any Government officer or in respect of the fact that any such works or buildings are subject to the approval or inspection of any Government officer.- The idea underlying this section is that owners of buildings or works and their architects and contractors should be responsible for the erection and carrying out of non-government buildings and works as regards all the aforesaid matters of detail.
