Abstract

The paper addresses the contractual problem of how main contractors pass on liability for project delays to their subcontractors; a topic that is difficult and has not been grasped properly in the previous literature. The survey reveals that the ‘normal’ approach is illogical and that the issue is misunderstood by a significant proportion of practitioners in the UK.
