Description

Andrew Croft and James Vernon will discuss the thorny issue of delay caused to the provision of consultants’ services by reasons beyond their control. This is a particularly topical point given the impact of COVID-19. In such circumstances, what contractual provisions are needed to allow the consultant recover additional fees and/or loss and expense? In addition, can the consultant be held responsible for the delay?

This session will cover:

1. Best key risks and challenges for consultants associated with prolongation from an appointment-drafting perspective;
2. How effective the traditional standard forms are to protecting the consultants’ position and applicable amendments that should be sought;
3. Clauses to avoid in non-standard form contracts;
4. Evidence required to recover additional fees and/or loss and expense; and
5. Practical tips for tackling the issue of prolongation.
