Contractor termination under JCT contracts

Weare, David

Contractor termination under JCT contracts - 2007 - Contract Journal 439(6635) 25 July 2007, 25(1) .

Examines the termination provisions in JCT 05 when compared with JCT 98. A key change in JCT 05 is the omission of the requirement for the contractor not to give notice of termination 'unreasonably or vexatiously'. Looks at the consequences of invalid termination, the grounds for termination, the notice requirements, terminating 'unreasonably or vexatiously', and the choice between JCT 98 and JCT 05.
