Damages For Wrongful Termination
Our specialist team of construction law solicitors have extensive experience advising on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious construction and engineering matters. From construction contracts and procurement to various methods of dispute resolution whether through litigation or alternative methods.
The majority of standard form building contracts contain express termination clauses that provide the Employer and Contractor, or Either Party with the right to terminate the contract in specified circumstances.
A contractual right to terminate is often the preferred method of bringing a contract to an end because sometimes it does not require a breach of contract to be proved at all and, even where it does, the right to terminate can be exercised even if the breach is not of a repudiatory nature required for a common law determination. The contractual provisions also provide certainty as to the procedure to be followed by an innocent party and are often drafted to allow for a period of grace during which the party in default can remedy its breach and may, therefore, avoid disruption to the project or a breakdown of commercial relations.
Our solicitors have an in depth understanding of contractual rights to terminate which is vital in our ability to provide our clients with high quality advice and solutions to all construction related issues.
Our solicitors recognise the risks and challenges that are confronted in the construction industry and our dedicated construction and engineering team provides cost-effective and tailored legal solutions.
