A lesson in the art of the repo man

Article Abstract:

ROT (rentention of title) clauses protect unpaid sellers. There are 4 main types of ROT clauses: the simple clause which states that unpaid goods remain the seller's property; the current account which allows all goods to remain the seller's property until all the money is paid; mixed goods which means that if the goods have become part of a product the seller can retrieve them and the process of sale clause which needs to be registered at Companies House where the client holds the proceeds of sale in trust for the seller. Section 25(1) of the Sales of Goods Act defines who owns the goods when a client resells.

Capital punishment

Article Abstract:

It is extremely common for disputes to arise in the UK construction industry over claims made by contractors for additional costs arising from delays or variations which are attributable to the client. In many cases, contractors receive no compensation because they cannot prove that their losses were directly caused by the client. In order to avoid these situations, contractors should undertake detailed pre-contract planning, thus establishing a standard by which progress will be assessed. Details of pre-contract planning are given in Keith Pickavance's book 'Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts.'

Modern European languages

Article Abstract:

The complex nature of the European Union Construction Products Directive will make it too hard to implement, mainly because the language used is too complicated. Introduction of the directive is aimed at standardizing the industry throughout Europe, making it easier for firms to trade with each other. Products will need to meet exacting standards developed by either the European Technical Approvals or the Harmonised European Standards, although this double standard will itself create further complications.
