Jerram, D.

Clause and effect - 1993 - New Civil Engineer (1028) 4 February 1993, 16(1) .

"Humber Oil Terminals Trustee Ltd v Harbour & General Works (Stevin) Ltd" considered whether the circumstances which led to collapse and loss of contracting equipment were foreseeable. A legal decision would determine who would be liable for the remedial costs as agreed in the contract, drafted in accordance with the ICE conditions. The contractor claimed at arbitration that the collapse was not foreseeable and so liability would rest with the employer. The decision was in the contractor`s favour, upheld at the Official Referee`s Court and Court of Appeal.
