This seminar and workshop will enable you to:

• Understand how to amend your contracts to deal with the latest BIFSOPA, QBCC amendments, new case law and the new timelines.

• Discuss and understand the latest contract clauses required as a result of cases on the BIFSOPA, QBCC Act & PPS Act.

• Understand what you can do by amending your contract to maximise your protection from dubious EOT and delay claims.

• Discuss and understand the latest contract amendments dealing with COVID-19, force majeure frustration, conversion of security, final certificates, termination and deeds of release.

• Discuss the effect of the recent decisions on latent defect claims.

• Examine contract clauses dealing with:

  • preconditions to payment claims – are they affective anymore?

  • termination for convenience – still a dangerous weapon?

  • deeds of release – will they defeat a BIFSOPA claim?

  • EOT and delay claims;

  • time bars – do they work?

  • warranties to purchasers and body corporates for latent defects – do they work?;

  • conversion of security in response to an adjudication decision; and

  • how to apply liquidated damages even if you caused the delay.
