Risk assessments and contractual impact

A note on contractual obligations under the current COVID-19 pandemic.

At the beginning of April, we issued an article to assist members in risk assessing their contractual obligations under the current COVID-19 pandemic. If it was unsafe to do so, some guidance on subsequently reviewing the contract clauses that required attention was included.

To complement this information, we are pleased to attach a flow chart to give you a visual aid together with a reminder of two guidance notes on this matter released by Construction Leadership Council and the UK Government on 7 May 2020. We hope you find this useful.
