Leading
contract joints authoring body
The Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT), the
UK’s leading contract authoring body with more than two-thirds
of projects using its contracts, has completed Revision 1 to the
JCT05 suite.
Published by Sweet & Maxwell, the revision not only incorporates
Amendment 1, published in April to cover changes made in the
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007, but also
a range of other updates and corrections.
The Minor Works Building Contracts include amendments to the
insurance provisions that reflect changes in the insurance
market, and also an alteration to the way that the Construction
Industry Scheme is dealt with in the contract: it now requires
the status of the employer to be identified for the purposes of
the legislation, a change which brings it in line with other JCT
contracts.
The Design and Build Contract, and other contracts containing
provision for sub-contractor collateral warranties, have been
amended to deal with purchasers or tenants, funder(s) and
employer in one clause. Where a warranty is for the employer,
specific reference is made to the recently published
Sub-Contractor Collateral Warranty for Employer (SCWa/E).
Consequential changes have been made to Part 2 of the Contract
Particulars.
JCT is the only consensual contract authoring body. All new
contracts, and subsequent amendments, are published with the
support and agreement of the construction industry. Bodies
sitting on the JCT Council, and on the drafting committee,
include the RIBA, RICS, ACE, Construction Confederation,
National Specialist Contractors Council, Local Government
Association, British Property Federation and the Scottish
Building Contract Committee.
