Legal Question in Business Law in Australia
Disclaimers- do they really protect the proffesional?
Was wondering whether disclaimers have any legal weight? Say for example I wanted to get into private practice but didnt want to be registered with any association and i were to get my clients to signe a disclaimer stating that i was not responsible for things outside of my proffesional practice, would this cover me? Or would such a disclaimer be useless in a court of law if I were to be sued for what ever strange reason?
Thank you for your time!

Re: Disclaimers- do they really protect the proffesional?
no - dislcaimers are not useless. they can be very effective but it would not be prudent to simply clip one from somewhere and adopt it for your business - consideration needs to be given to what you are doing and risks you may be exposed to.
