How Effective Is the Risk Allocation between Parties in Modern Construction Contracts?
Speaker: Ms Chantal-Aimée Doerries QC - Atkin Chambers
Paper on "How Effective Is The Risk Allocation Between Parties In Modern Construction Contracts?"
Abstract of Paper
“Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.” General Patton
1. The first question is how effective in achieving what result? You could take one of three different views. One, given the contractual intent as to contractual allocation of risk – how clearly does the contract achieve this result? Or two, how effective is the allocation in risk in achieving the delivery of a project on time and within budget? Three, does the contract give the opportunity for claims? The answer to these three questions may be different. The contract may be clear in identifying the allocation of risk but give rise to claims of considerable ingenuity to reverse the ostensible burden of risk.
