Repudiation, termination and quantum meruit

Bailey, Julian

Repudiation, termination and quantum meruit - 2006 - Construction Law Journal 22(4) 2006, 217-240(24) .

Discusses whether a contractor is entitled to recover money on a quantum meruit, rather than claim damages, for work done up to point of termination of a contract, and if so, whether the contract price, or the rates and prices specified in the contract, represent a constraint on the contractor's entitlement. Considers at length how the concept of quantum meruit has developed since the 19th century, and looks at its availability as a remedy.
