One-star review
Language: English Series: Building ; 271(8415) 27 January 2006, 63(1)Publication details: 2006Subject(s): Summary: Argues that the amendments to the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, s110, proposed by the DTI, will not solve the problem of payment abuse in the industry. The amendments provide that a contractual mechanism for payment will only be valid if it requires a statement of what is due in a certificate issued by either the payer or payee, or a third party named in the contract. The DTI is not prepared, however, to take action to outlaw pay-if-paid clauses, or to make provision for stage payments for off-site work, both of which have strong support in the industry.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
