Webinar: Claims - Eligibility, Quantum and Defence (Sri Lanka) (Recording option)
Claims often arise in construction contracts due to delays, changes, unforeseen circumstances, insufficient information, and conflicts. These claims can include demands for loss and expense, extension of time, and liquidated damages.
In construction claims, proper documentation is crucial for supporting claims, demonstrating contractual compliance, and providing project specifics. Accurate records of plans, modifications, and communications are essential for ensuring transparency and fairness in dispute resolution. Such documentation helps in calculating damages and establishing the causal relationship between issues and their impact on the project, making it a vital tool in court or arbitration.
This CPD session on claims eligibility, quantum, and defence covers the principles, practices, and legal frameworks governing construction claims. It delves into the criteria required for a claim to be deemed valid, the compensation or damages that can be claimed, and strategies for contesting the validity or quantum of a claim. This comprehensive CPD ensures that professionals remain updated on the latest developments and best practices in managing claims, assessing quantum, and mounting effective defences. By attending this session, participants will enhance their understanding of claim management, equipping them with the knowledge to navigate complex disputes and achieve equitable outcomes in the construction industry.
