Abstract
It is not uncommon for work to be continuing on-site, yet the contractor and employer or contractor and sub-contractor do not have any legally binding contractual relationship. In this article, Geoffrey Shaw and Glenn haley look at the basic principles which determine whether or not a contract exists and examine the most recent cases which attempt to apply those principles to particular facts.
(1) The legal principles
(2) Pre-contract work outside the scope of the tender
(3) Letters of intent
(4) Is there a binding contract?
(5) Quasi-contractual claims and quantum meruit
(6) Do not overlook the formalities
(7) Glenn Haley and Geoffrey Shaw are partners with McKenna & Co., in association with Minter Ellison Morris Fletcher. Both specialise in construction and engineering law.
