In Pro-Invest Australian Hospitality Opportunity (St) Pty Ltd v Tactical Project Management Pty Ltd [2024] QSC 101, Pro-Invest, the plaintiff, sought to recover damages from Tactical Project Management (Tactical), the defendant, citing breach of contract, negligence, and misleading and deceptive conduct related to the installation of a mechanical services system at a Holiday Inn Express hotel. Pro-Invest alleged that Tactical's failure to ensure the system could independently heat and cool individual guestrooms led to significant costs and subsequent litigation. Tactical, in turn, claimed that Pro-Invest misled them regarding the acceptable standards, and joined Thwaite Consulting Group as a third party, alleging they had provided faulty specifications. The Supreme Court of Queensland, presided by Bowskill CJ, ordered further disclosure of documents between the parties, addressing issues of legal professional privilege, the adequacy of past disclosures, and the necessity of revealing unredacted invoices for a thorough assessment of costs claimed as damages.
