Mr KON Ting Fei discussed the following aspects, followed by a Q&A session:
- Claim notices – don’t miss the gate!
- Delay & EOT – what actually counts?
- Liquidated damages – what to check before deduction?
- Payment clauses – “Back-to-back / Pay When Paid / Pay If Paid” – does it mean what it says?
- Fitness for purpose vs Skill & Care – what is hidden in the specs?
- Force Majeure – does it really cover “everything”?
The CPD event was highly informative and meaningful, with valuable exchanges and interactions among the speakers and participants.
