Drafting a building contract/schedule of amendments—checklist Once the procurement route and form of building contract has been selected (see Practice Note: Choosing the right procurement method—construction projects) the employer should consider the following matters and incorporate the appropriate drafting in the building contract particulars and schedule of amendments. This Checklist assumes that the parties are using a standard form of building contract, such as a JCT form, and that the employer is proposing the first draft including the completed contract particulars and a schedule of amendments, which amends the standard terms. This list is not exhaustive, however, and there may be other project specific matters/risks that need to be taken into account: Contractual matters • Carry out due diligence on the contractor The employer needs to carry out due diligence on the contractor at the outset to determine whether its financial position is acceptable. Confirm the contractor’s company number and name at Companies House. • Obtain consultants’ details Confirm the full details of the consultants engaged by the employer; some...
Completing the JCT 2016 Minor Works Building Contract Particulars—checklist The Agreement, Recitals, Articles and Contract Particulars at the start of a JCT contract set out the project specific details for the particular works to be carried out. It is very important that these are fully completed and that the details are correct to avoid ambiguity and disputes regarding what is required. This Checklist provides practical guidance as to how to complete the details including links to relevant Practice Notes which provide detailed information on the areas covered. It is aimed at those who are relatively new to dealing with JCT contracts.

Alternatively, a lawyer may be asked to fill in all of the details but they will need input from the client or its consultants as to the details to be inserted. This...

Rectification is an equitable remedy by which the court can correct an error of expression where a written document does not match the parties' intention. It is available only in relation to written contracts and other documents. An oral agreement cannot be rectified. This Practice Note explains the principles applicable in considering whether an error can be corrected by interpretation rather than rectification and the elements of a claim for rectification for mutual or common mistake. For more information in respect of a mistake made by one party, see Practice Note: Rectification—unilateral mistake.Interpretation or rectification?The starting point in considering a claim for the correction of an error is to ask whether the error can be solved by means of interpretation rather than rectification. At common law, rectification is not available and so the only way in which an error of expression can be corrected at common law is by applying the ordinary rules of interpretation. As a matter of principle, the equitable remedy of rectification ought not to be granted...
