To print this article, all you need is to be registered or login on Mondaq.com.
A mere 4 months into 2016 and it has already been a year of
change for construction contracting in Ireland both in the private
and public sector. We have seen the introduction of the long
awaited reform of the Public Works Contracts (effective from 4
April 2016) and we now have a definitive date for the operation of
the Construction Contracts Act 2013 (the Act) – 25 July
2016.
This note focuses on some of the changes to be introduced to
payment, suspension and dispute resolution mechanisms in the
construction industry as a result of the Act but with a particular
focus on amendments that may be required to the way in which
parties draft their construction contracts.
