Inevitable exclusions
Article Abstract:
It is possible some parties involved in construction contracts will find they are inappropriately included in the Scheme for Construction Contracts Act 1996. Some exclusions from the Act have already been included in the Construction Contracts (England and Wales) Exclusion Order 1998. The 1996 legislation was brought in to help resolve contractural difficulties in the construction industry. The Act was drawn up to apply to one sector of the construction industry. Some contracts do not fit the criteria within the Act therefore further exclusions are likely to be necessary.

Tender is the blight
Article Abstract:
Some observers believe that the UK government should introduce legislation which would enforce good pre-contract practice in the construction industry. It is clearly not possible to have legislation which covers all aspects of tendering good practice, but it would be possible, for example, to limit the number of tenders and to ban Dutch auctioning. Other observers believe that legislation is not the best approach to this problem. They point instead to a need for a cultural change in the construction industry.
