In this issue we feature recent and imminent changes to the Construction Contracts Act – consultants included as from 1 September 2016 and a new statutory trust model for retentions comes into force on 31 March 2017.
We also look at the ‘Cinderella of law’ – unjust enrichment, dispute boards in Brazil, the Society of Construction Law’s new take on the Delay and Disruption Protocol; and more.
In ‘Case in Brief’, Sarah Redding discusses two recent decisions of the Australian and UK Courts, and the different approaches taken in each jurisdiction to the relationship between parties’ contractual termination obligations and the common law right to terminate for repudiatory breach.
