A case in point...

Langley, R.

A case in point... - 2001 - Cost Engineer 39(1) February 2001, 13(1) .

Interprets two recent cases which hold importance for project practitioners: "Inntrepreneur Pub Co v East Crown Ltd" (2000) and "Panatown Ltd v Alfred McAlpine" (2000). The first case involved E taking a lease of a public house from I. The lease contained a clause that constituted the entire agreement between the parties. The outcome being that an 'entire agreement' clause invalidates a warranty. The second case illustrates the problem project managers face attempting to decide which company should be named upon the Contract Form as the Employer under the contract. One point raised in the outcome of the case is that Third Party Warranties are useful.
