construction update August 2010
27th August 2010
This month's article looks at what conditions precedent are, how they operate and how they are usually applied in respect of claims for delay in construction contracts. The article also looks at the very recent case of W W Gear Construction Limited v McGee Group Limited from June 2010 in which the Technology and Construction Court considered the proper interpretation and application of a condition precedent for the contractor's entitlement to claim for loss and expense in an amended JCT standard contract.
