Kua tukuna te pūtāhui tāpiri ki te kairihi
I te tau 2016, i whakarite kirimana a Simply Construction (UK) LLP ( Simply ) ki te hanga i tētahi whare tiaki i Rānana i raro i te puka kirimana JCT Design and Build 2005. I raro i te kirimana, me tuku e Simply he pūtāhui ki te rangatira whenua me te kairēti o te whenua i te wā e whakamōhiotia ana.
I tukuna houtia te kirimana ki te kaipupuri whenua Toppan Holdings Limited ( Toppan ) i te tau 2017, ā, i mahia ngā mahi whakatikatika i te tau 2018-19. I te tau 2020, kua oti pai ngā mahi hanga me ngā mahi whakatikatika. I te tumanako kia whakatinanahia, ka tono a Toppan ki a Simply kia tukuna he pūtāhui hei tautoko i te kairihi Abbey Healthcare (Mill Hill) Limited ( Abbey ). I tukuna te pūtāhui i roto i te puka paerewa e piri ana ki te kirimana (te Pūtāhui Abbey ). I roto i tēnā, i whakamanahia e Simply kua oti i a ia, ā, ka haere tonu tana mahi i ana herenga i raro i te kirimana JCT.
I haere tonu te take ki te whakawakanga i raro i te ture ōrite ki te UK o te Construction Contracts Act 2002 o Aotearoa. I ātete noa rātou ki te whakatinanatanga, me te kī kāore he mana o te kaiwhakawa ki te whakatau i te tautohe nā te mea ehara te pūtāhui tāpiri i te kirimana hanga.
He kirimana hanga te pūtāhui tāpui?
He rerekē ngā kupu o ngā ture o te UK me Aotearoa, engari ko te kaupapa matua o ngā ture e rua ko te kirimana hanga he kirimana mō te whakahaere i ngā mahi hanga . [1] Mena he 'whakapā hanga' te pūtāhui tāpiri, ka taea te whakatau i ngā tautohe i raro i taua pūtāhui.
Ko te whakamātautau ko te kī he take mai te pūtāhui tāpiri i tētahi kirimana hanga, nō reira, he kirimana hanga anō hoki te pūtāhui. Mai i te tirohanga arumoni, he mea tika kia whakaaetia ngā pūtāhui pirinoa kia whakatinanahia i te huarahi kotahi e taea ai te whakatinana i te kirimana matua. Engari, pērā i ngā wā katoa, me whai whakaaro ki ngā āhuatanga motuhake o te kirimana.
Ahakoa he mea noa te pūtāhui tāpiri mō tētahi kirimana hanga, he mea noa anō hoki te pūtāhui a te kamupene matua. Kāore tetahi e whakaaro he kirimana hanga te pūtāhui a te kamupene matua.
Te mahi hanga: ā mua, ā muri rānei?
He maha ngā wā ka whakaarohia e te tangata he kirimana hanga hei mahi i ngā mahi ā muri ake nei: ka hainatia e koe te kirimana, kātahi ka tīmata te hanga. Engari kāore e tupu tonu tēnā i roto i te mahi. Ko ngā pūtāhui tāpiritanga, inā koa, ka hainatia i te wā hanga, i muri rānei i te otinga o te hanga. Ehara ianei te pūtāhui tāpiritanga i te 'kirimana hanga' nā te mea kua tīmata kē ngā mahi, kua oti rānei? I whakaarohia tēnei e ngā kōti o Ingarangi i te tau 2013, ā, i kitea kāore i pērā.
I roto i te Parkwood Leisure , i whakaū te Kōti me whānui te whakamārama i te tikanga o te 'kirimana hanga' i roto i te Ture, ā, me whai whakaaro ki ngā kōrero me ngā kupu o te pūtāhui taunaha. [2] Ko te tikanga o tēnei, kāore e taea e te Kōti te whakaū he kirimana hanga ia pūtāhui taunaha. Heoi, i taea e te Kōti te whakaū kāore te mahi whakamuri i te aukati i te noho hei kirimana hanga.
Nō reira, kāore e hiahiatia kia whai mana katoa, kia whai wāhi rānei te pūtāhui tāpiri kia waiho hei 'kirimana hanga' mō ngā kaupapa o te Ture. He mea whai tikanga arumoni anō hoki tēnei: ahakoa te hiahia o ngā rōia, kāore ngā "pepa" e puta tuatahi mai i ngā wā katoa; ā, ko ētahi kirimana ka oti i waenganui o te hanganga, i muri rānei i te otinga o te hanganga.
He mahi hanga, he whakamana hua rānei?
Nō reira, kāore te wā o te pūtāhui e whakarerekē i te āhua ture taketake o te kirimana. Engari kāore hoki te wā i te tino pānga.
I runga i te kaha o te take a Parkwood Leisure me ētahi kōrero i roto i tētahi pukapuka ako rongonui, i tautohe a Toppan rāua ko Abbey he kirimana hanga te Abbey Warranty: I ahu mai te Abbey Warranty i te kirimana JCT; i pā ki te whakahaere i ngā mahi hanga; ā, ahakoa kua oti ngā mahi, kāore i te kī kāore e taea te kī he kirimana hanga te pūtāhui. Nā te mea, i kitea he kirimana hanga te pūtāhui a Parkwood Leisure – he aha koa tēnei pūtāhui?
Kāore te TCC i tino whakapono. Ae, ehara te wā i te arai. Engari me whai whakaaro ki ngā kupu me ngā kōrero pono katoa. I hainatia te Abbey Warranty e whā tau i muri i te otinga o ngā mahi, ā, e waru marama i muri i te otinga o ngā mahi whakatikatika. Kāore i whakaarohia he mahi anō i te wā i hainatia ai. He tohu mārama ēnei ehara te warranty i te kirimana mō te whakahaere i ngā mahi hanga.
Kaua e wareware ki te kupu
I whakaarohia hoki e te TCC ngā kupu o te Abbey Warranty. I Parkwood Leisure , i "whakamana, i whakaae, ā, i whakaae" te kaiwhakatū ki te mahi i ngā mahi. I konei, i "whakamana" noa iho a Simply i aua mahi. Ahakoa he rerekē te hunga o mātou kua pāngia e ngā kirimana āhua paerewa me ngā mahi tere o ngā tauwhitinga arumoni, ko te tikanga o ngā kōti he mea āta whakaurua ngā kupu katoa me te whai take. I "whakamana" a Simply i ngā mahi, engari kāore i "whakamana" i "whakahaere" rānei. He taunakitanga anō tēnei ehara te whakamana tāpiri i te kirimana mō te mahi i ngā mahi hanga.
Hei tāpiri atu ki te hunga e pai ana ki te tātari reo pai: ehara i te wā o ngā kupumahi i whakawhirinakihia e te Kōti i konei. Inaa, i kōrero pū te Abbey Warranty mō te āhua o mua me te mahi ā muri ake nei (e kī ana a Abbey "ka haere tonu te mahi" me te "ka haere tonu te whakamahi). Engari, ko te kōwhiringa kupumahi tonu i whakamāramatia hei whakaatu i te tikanga.
He kirimana hanga, he pūtāhui hua rānei?
I runga i te wā me te kupu, i whakatau te TCC ehara te Abbey Warranty i te kirimana hanga. Ae, i ahu mai te warati i te kirimana hanga JCT. Āe, e kī ana te tikanga arumoni me te ture he 'kirimana hanga' ngā warati tāpiri. Engari kāore tētahi i whakaatu i tēnā i konei.
He pūtāhui te Abbey Warranty mō ngā āhuatanga o mua me ngā āhuatanga o muri mai, he rite tonu ki te pūtāhui hua a te kaihanga, kaua ki te kirimana hei whakahaere mahi. Kāore tōna pūtake i roto i te kirimana JCT i whakarerekē i te tirohanga a te Kōti mō tēnā. Heoi anō, tera pea he pūtāhui tāpiri hei ārai i tētahi kirimana hanga whare, engari he pērā anō hoki te pūtāhui a te kamupene matua. Kāore tetahi e whakamārama i te pūtāhui a te kamupene matua hei kirimana hanga whare .
Te whakatau me ngā pūtāhui taurangi
E whakaatu noa ana a Toppan v kāore e taea te kī he mea whai mana te pūtāhui hei kirimana hanga: me whai whakaaro ki ngā kupu me ngā kōrero o te pūtāhui.
Mena kei te hiahia koe ki te whakamana i tētahi pūtāhui tāpiri, whakaarohia ō kōwhiringa kia āta whakaarohia. Mena i whakaurua te pūtāhui i te wā o te hanganga, i muri tata mai rānei, tera pea kei a koe tētahi 'kirimana hanganga'. Mena koinā, tera pea ka pārekareka ki a koe ngā painga o te wā me te utu o te whakatau. Engari, ki te mea i hainatia te pūtāhui i muri tata mai i te otinga o ngā mahi, tera pea kāore te whakapau rauemi ki te whakatau i te mea pai mōu.
Mena kei te tuhi koe i tētahi pūtāhui tāpiri, whakaarohia te reo e pai ana ki a koe – he "pūtāhui" anake tēnei? Whakaarohia hoki te wā o te pūtāhui – ka pā tēnei ki ngā kōwhiringa whakamana e wātea ana? I roto i te horopaki o te UK, ka taea e ngā rōpū te whakarite kirimana ki te whakamahi i te tukanga whakatau, nō reira ka taea te whakatau i tēnei take mā te whakamahi i tētahi rarangi kupu. Engari kāore i te tino mārama te otinga i Aotearoa.
