Button, R
Coping with foot and mouth - 2001 - CSM (5) May 2001, 33(1) .
Describes how the recent foot and mouth crisis and subsequent access restrictions have implications for contractors fulfilling their contractual obligations. Considers the powers of local authorities outlined in the Foot and Mouth Disease Order 1983 (as amended in 2001), and examines their impact on the contractual arrangements in standard forms of contracts. Suggests that a conflict exists between many of the contracts and the statutory requirements, making work more expensive and the contractor potentially at risk for extra costs. A table detailing relevant provisions in standard forms of contract is available at http://www.ricsonline.org/info_centre/csm/articleresult.htm?count=206.
