Introduction
Construction projects often involve a complex web of contractual relationships with a multitude of different parties, including employers, contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, and consultants. As well as funders, purchasers, and tenants.
When a party is taking on liability upstream, it is only natural for them to ensure that they can pass that liability on downstream, so a party further down the supply chain is ultimately responsible. Parties often seek to achieve this by making downstream contracts back-to-back with upstream contracts.
However, where parties seek to pass down obligations which are not appropriate, this can create friction and delays in getting the contract negotiation over the line.
This virtual classroom seminar will consider a range of issues linked to back-to-back contracts and the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches.
