Name-borrowing originated from the 'green form', a contract for use by nominated subcontractors engaged by main contractors under the JCT63 and allowed the subcontractor to use the main contractor's name. The provisions in the green form were poorly drafted and any interpretation gave rise to difficulties. Questions why the latest edition of the JCT management contract has incorporated very similar provisions and discusses a current name-borrowing dispute where the relationship between the management contractor with its employer and works contractor has reached breaking point.
