Latest contract from the JCT stable

Knowles, R.

Latest contract from the JCT stable - 2004 - Civil Engineering Surveyor February 2004, 16(1) .

Looks at the main points of the recently published JCT Major Project Form (MPF 2003) (J122869). It has been designed for significant projects in terms of size and complexity, to be used by experienced employers. It is less complex than JCT 1998, replacing longwinded procedures with clauses on basic rights and obligations of the parties. Amongst the changes is a provision for including professional indemnity insurance if required by the employer and the absence of the option to refer disputes to arbitration.
