CONTRACTUAL & LEGAL

JBCC N/S SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT:  
CLAIMING FOR DELAYS CAUSED BY COVID 19
By Edwin Giesteira and Annie David

We recently received an interesting article which was penned by Edwin Giesteira and Annie David covering the very topical subject of claiming for delays due to COVID-19 as it relates to the JBCC N/S Subcontract agreement.

Prof. Tinus Maritz, CEO of JBCC has endorsed the article by saying "I  found it to be very informative and legally sound and in line with my understanding of the matter at hand."

We would like to thank the authors for submitting the article to the MBAWC and for kindly agreeing that we could share it with our members.
