Contracts disputes

Wordy At first the players and managers had an argument over the money, but finally they came to an agreement that got the contract dispute settled. [Pg.136]

One area of attention is the potential formation of a gas cartel similar to OPEC. Concern for maintaining a secure supply of reasonably priced natural gas, which until now has taken a back seat to its oil sister, will increasingly be viewed as a vital national interest. In the past, gas users have feared interruption in vital gas supplies for a variety of reasons such as contract disputes between Algeria and its customers (see Hayes, 2006), to political unrest in Indonesia (see von der Mehden and Lewis, 2006) to transit country risk such as Ukraine and Belarus for Russian exports (see Victor and Victor, 2006). In addition to supply interruption fears, major gas-consuming countries or regions worry that a key exporter such as Russia (to Europe) or group of exporters could exercise monopoly power to extract inflated rents for their product. [Pg.100]

System safety must be instituted into the facility and product acquisition process (including retrofitting and minor modifications). This section delineates the system safety milestones and safety products in the procurement process. This section should describe how the general procurement process works and how systan safety should be involved in this process. For example, the safety organization should make sure that safety requirements are part of the procurement tendering process and weU defined for bidders and vendors. Poor safety requirements definition has led not just to contract disputes but more importantly has many times led to poor safety management and ultimately to contributing to accidents. [Pg.106]

An adequately documented requirement would be a written contract, schedule of work, and/or specification. However simple the requirement, it is wise to have it documented in case of a dispute later. The document needs to carry an identity and if subject to change, an issue status. In the simple case this is the serial numbered invoice and in more complicated transactions, it will be a multi-page contract with official contract number, date, and signatures of both parties. [Pg.226]

A lease or contract of tenancy can be verbal but is usually in writing, as there is the possibility of misunderstandings and thus disputes. In some cases, this is overcome by a deed that sets out the conditions of the letting. This is a contractual document, which is made by indenture,... [Pg.49]

In a lump sum contract the contractor does not have a common law right to interim payments. Most larger contracts have an express term within them giving the right to interim payments, or payments on account, notwithstanding that they have not fulfilled their contractual duties in completing the works. The matter of interim payments and their frequency should be resolved before the contract is signed, and not left until a dispute arises. [Pg.94]

It is unfortunate when a dispute arises between any of the parties. The two most common areas are a claim by the client that the work has been done badly or taken too long, and from the contractor that his contract has been interfered with by the client or the nominated subcontractors. [Pg.96]

Most disputes take the form of strongly worded letters between the parties, with eventual threats of litigation or arbitration, very often in an attempt to cause a party to capitulate. Where there is a genuine attempt to settle a dispute the letters between the parties can be marked Without Prejudice and letters so worded cannot be used in evidence without the consent of both parties. If a binding contract has been effected because of without prejudice interviews or letters, this may be proved by means of the without prejudice statement, as in Tomlin v. STC Ltd (1969). [Pg.96]

The standard forms of contract invariably contain agreements to arbitrate in the event of a dispute and some even name the arbitrator or a professional body who will appoint an arbitrator, upon the application of one of the parties. Where no agreement to arbitrate exists, the injured party may sue in either a County Court or High Court, depending upon the value of the claim, and he must then prove his case before a judge. [Pg.96]

Poor Record Keeping. Unfortunately, many small industrial laboratories have inadequate records. This can have unpleasant consequences. In one case, the manufacturer of an alcohol solution was challenged by a customer about meeting specifications set forth in the contract. For his defense, he had not retained samples that could be traced to the disputed deliveries, and his only written information consisted of scribbled notes on loose sheets of paper from his desk drawer. He lost the contract. An independent investigation indicated that he had probably done his job right, but he had no way to prove it. [Pg.124]

There is also another defensive secretion that sea hares release less readily than ink. This is a milky white liquid called opaline, so viscous that it can be stretched out through the air into a long string. For sea hares, opaline is what is known as a defining characteristic, because all sea hares emit opaline whereas no other species are known to do so. In spite of its defining role, opaline remains poorly understood. It contains proteins and perhaps components derived from the animals diet the evidence here is in dispute. A sea hare releases opaline less readily than ink but seems to do so as a second response to serious predatory assaults. When touched by a sea anemone s tentacles, a sea hare discharges a shot of opaline, which causes the anemone s tentacles to contract. No one yet understands how opaline deters predators or what chemicals are responsible for its activity. [Pg.187]

Although it can simplify matters, particularly if a query or dispute arises, if the legal contract is contained in a single document, this is not essential. An agreement may be contained in more than one document. Quite often, for example, a research agreement will cross-refer to a protocol and SOPs that are to be treated as incorporated into its terms. The important matter is that the... [Pg.397]

In addition Blue Stream supply now is delayed because of disputes with Turkey which overestimated its demand estimates and tries now to reconsider contract terms. [Pg.144]

Inevitably there will be some contractual situations where disputes arise due to some perceived or real default on the part of one of the parties. When there is no clear path to a resolution through negotiation because the disagreement is sufficiently intractable, one recourse is to arbitration. In most contracts the potential for such a deadlock is recognized by a clause which is inserted to specify both the authority which under whose jurisdiction the arbitration will be heard, the location of the hearings, in which language they will be heard and under the laws of which country. [Pg.175]

The overwhelming majority of contracts are brought to a successful close. If fulfillment of the contract is disputed, the prosecuted party has four basic defenses ... [Pg.335]

All of the C.M. activities mentioned in the previous section are important and should be performed. However, those related to the administration of construction contracts, receiving equipment, and field safety are of the utmost importance and must be performed and documented in order to protect the Owner s interests from potential contractual and/or labor disputes and claims stemming from the construction work. [Pg.190]
