The subcontractor's direct claim in international business law
Pulkowski, J.
The subcontractor's direct claim in international business law - 2004 - International Construction Law Review 21(1) January 2004, 31-56(26) .
Argues that subcontracts are important in business law as large construction firms enter into contracts to construct public buildings, private enterprises and new production sites. To perform their contractual obligations they usually have to rely on special technological or financial knowledge of other bodies. The large scale of these tasks often means a main contractor will wish to offset tasks to subcontractors, which bears specific judicial risks for these subcontractors. However, they will lack the power to influence the project as a whole. Looks at the situation throughout Europe, the applicable laws and the subcontractor's right of direct action using examples.
