Who can you rely on?
Article Abstract:
All aspects of the construction industry are reliant on other practices, linking the concept of reliance to negligence in dispute cases. Firms often have to prove negligence rather than reliance when disputing aspects of contract law. Some contracts are deliberately under-certified, but this can not be proven as negligent. Contractors need to balance the level of liability they may face as a consequence of negligence, in respect to other firms being reliant on their services.
