Article Abstract:

Construction contractor Tilbury Douglas' form of agreement includes nine subcontract clauses, most of which contain unreasonable conditions. In most respects, the contract is unsatisfactory for subcontractors. Among the unreasonable conditions are an unsatisfactory back-to-back arrangement, vague payment conditions and an unreasonable price device. Subcontractors are advised to study the contract carefully before they enter any binding agreement with Tilbury Douglas.
