Contract Acceptance by Commencement
You’re a Main Contractor working on a JCT Standard Building Contract (2016). You’ve agreed a price and programme with a Subcontractor following receipt of their quotation and, having held a meeting with them, have confirmed our agreement on an email.
I need them to start on site in the next few days but haven’t yet issued their formal Subcontract and will not be able to do this before I need them on site.
We put together this scenario to Jason Farnell, Adjudicator and CEDR Accredited Mediator from Commercial Risk Management.
