Managing Construction Suspension and Contract Termination Masterclass

OVERVIEW

The majority of construction projects proceed from start to finish as originally planned, but occasionally a situation arises that ends with either the client, the contractor or both parties refusing to continue. Suspension or termination in a construction contract may not always be an easy decision to make and may include interpretation of contract requirements to establishing a contractor’s lack of due diligence and expedition. In nearly all cases, ending a contract before completion results in added costs to both parties, but sometimes it’s the only viable solution. Where it is unclear which party is at fault, termination potentially creates legal issues for all parties involved from the terminating party to the downstream parties and results in unnecessary time and costs spent due to contract and payment disputes from possible adjudication, arbitration or Court claims and counterclaims. This masterclass will present the key legal aspects in termination by reference to applicable contract provisions and the applicable law as a practical guide to managing contract termination and payment recovery options for the parties involved.
