All work deserves some remuneration, or does it?
Williamson, Hazel
All work deserves some remuneration, or does it? - 2005 - Estates Gazette (0549) 10 December 2005, 83(1) .
Considers the vagueness of the law relating to the remuneration of parties who have carried out free preliminary work in the hope of obtaining contracts that do not materialise. Discusses key cases such as "Countrywide Communications Ltd v ICL Pathway Ltd and another (QBD, Abs61818) which define the situations in which payment is owed. Concludes that the most useful test is that of assessing the claimant's assumption of the risk but warns that claims for recovery can be complex.
