by PLC Construction
A note on the changes necessary to the payment, adjudication and suspension clauses to make commonly used Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) contracts comply with the amendments under Part II of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (Construction Act 1996), introduced by Part 8 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009.
The note considers a JCT Standard Building Contract, 2005 edition, Revision 2 2009 (SBC05), a JCT Design and Build Contract, 2005 edition, Revision 2 2009 (DB05), a JCT Intermediate Building Contract, 2005 edition, Revision 2 2009 (IC05) and a JCT Intermediate Building Contract with contractor's design, 2005 edition, Revision 2 2009 (ICD05).
The amendments to the Construction Act 1996 took effect on 1 October 2011 in England and Wales and 1 November 2011 in Scotland.
We originally published this resource in March 2011, before the JCT published its suite of 2011 edition contracts. Now that users have had an opportunity to review the 2011 editions, we no longer maintain this resource.
