Operation of set-off is critical in industry

Brewer, G

Operation of set-off is critical in industry - 2000 - Contract Journal 405(6299) 18 October 2000, 28(1) .

Looks at the operation of set-off in administering payments in the construction industry. Considers how the Construction Act 1996 has clarified the process, and investigates how set-off rights may be excluded by the express words of the contract. Examines case law, including "BOC Group plc v Centeon LLC", which displays circumstances in which an exclusion could be made.
