Disputes Over Terms and Interpretation of JCT and Other Forms of Construction Contracts

JCT Contracts are fundamental to many building and construction projects. Used for substantial developments as well as minor works, these contracts are intended to provide clear terms to prevent disputes. Despite their design, disagreements often arise over terms and their application in specific situations. Various other construction contracts also exist, each with their own sets of terms. If you are involved in a dispute regarding a JCT or other construction contract, or anticipate one, it’s crucial to understand your rights and obligations.
