Opening Pandora's box
Bessey, James
Opening Pandora's box - 2007 - Building 272(8496) 7 September 2007, 55(1) .
Discusses the possible implications of government proposals to remove the requirement for construction contracts to be in writing. Argues that this proposal would let the adjudicator decide what the contract is or not, which could lead to a number of problems. Suggests there may be an increase in the use of clauses that aim to exclude anything extraneous from being part of the contract. In addition, more cases could follow on from adjudication because the adjudicator incorrectly concludes what the contract is.
