520 _aLooks at the implications of a CA case relating to local authority procurement on property development. The case,"Rice v Great Yarmouth BC" (CA [2003] TCLR 1)concerns two garden maintenance contracts where the council terminated the contracts, having served a number of default notices on Rice. Rice began proceedings claiming the council was not entitled to terminate the contracts. He won the case and the appeal. The article shows that this case has implications for property development as clauses dealing with termination of development agreements are worded similar to the equivalent clauses in the contracts in Rice. To avoid a similar situation, the article concludes that, if possible, specify which terms in a contract are to be conditions, breach of which will leave the contract liable to termination.
