Omissions and Loss of Profit
You’re working on an unamended JCT 2016 Building Contract with a £3m lump sum Contract Sum. The Employer is looking to amend an element of the works and has issued an instruction to omit a large portion of the scope of works.
The works are now to be varied and completed by Another company. The works are valued at approximately £300,000 including circa £30,000 of profit.
We put together this scenario to Jason Farnell, Adjudicator and CEDR Accredited Mediator from Commercial Risk Management.
