A few words from our tutor on what you can expect from this course

Course Description

If there is one key concern for those working with construction contracts, undoubtedly that is getting paid. However, construction projects rarely run entirely smoothly and if the issue of non-payment does arise, parties may be forced to either bring or defend a claim for non-payment at conciliation, adjudication and/or arbitration. Equally COVID-19 has had a big impact on claims, with projects being stalled and delayed across the country, so where do you stand?

This course will answer these tricky questions and other situations that can arise on site. At the end of the course attendees will receive course notes to refer back to, which may prove invaluable, and will have an opportunity to engage in highly informative discussions with an experienced professional, as well as others working within the same field.

Some key questions to be asked include:

• What is the legality on documents issued ‘for information only’?

• Who needs to be aware of whatever gives rise to the claim?

• When should the notice under clause 10.3.1 of the PWC be triggered?

• What level of particularisation is required in the follow-up documents?

• If an employer delay is the ‘dominant cause’, what is the contractor entitled to?
