CLC statement on standard appointment terms

The CLC has published a statement on the ongoing practice within the construction sector, of industry-approved forms of contract being amended by clients and their solicitors to introduce terms that are onerous and/or difficult to insure.

It is the view of the CLC, that standard form building and engineering contracts and professional services contracts issued by contract-producing bodies, should be used by clients with no amendments, except where necessary in the context of project-specific risks and relationships.
