Prospective v retrospective assessments under construction contracts

Saturday 2 November (1140 - 1300)

Description

It is said that assessing extensions of time and additional payments on a prospective basis favours contractors, while assessing them on a retrospective basis favours employers. The panel will consider the extent to which this is true and, where there is a choice between the two, which is to be preferred by the deciders of disputes.
