Normally contractual obligations are owed only to the client commissioning the design services, although collateral warranties, assignment, and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 may create liabilities to other parties (people other than the client) as well. In the UK there have traditionally been few legislative controls over the terms parties may agree (under the principle termed ‘freedom to contract’). This is in contrast to many other EU countries, where the obligations that may be agreed between parties are often highly regulated under the country’s Civil Code, so that the Code will be a primary reference in determining these obligations (see Chapters 17 and 18).

Evidence of the factual background may also be used in relation to implied terms (see below).
