Looks at management contracting and suggests that clients are shying away from using this form of procurement. Discusses "De Gruchy Holdings Ltd v House of Fraser (Stores) Ltd", which examined the operation of a management contract where the proper procedures had not been adhered to. Notes the main implication of this case - that the courts will look for a practical resolution to reflect the parties' conduct, despite failure to observe the strict contractual mechanisms.
