Construction law and Legal Process

Question: Discuss about the Construction law and Legal Process. Answer: Tenderly refers to the process which is common business process for supplying to supply goods to other public or business sectors. In the basic instance, a supplier may seek for the job or send a letter stating why he should be provided with the business. The formal tenders apply to jobs which are bigger for the supply of the contract which is to be spread overtime. Works in public sectors very often involve the process of tendering; the government tenders are those which are related to the law of contract. The contract is based on the invitation to treat and also to submit the invitation offer, and if the offer is accepted, then it is called contract. There are no such kind of obligation that lies on the proprietor to accept a tender no matter even if it is a tender which is lowest has complied with all specific requirements. As it is known that contracts are formed based on the acceptance of any tender which is the reply to the invitation made to that tender (Chandler, 2015). In certain situations where there is no execution of formal contract then by that, the simple advice which is accepted by the tender constitutes the contract. It is quite important the terms, policy and conditions which are considered while an awarding contract is made for the tenders or else the tenders which are not successful can claim damages (Dyson and Ibbetson, 2013). Tender, as known, are used for documents, build process, tender and design. This method of constructing the management is the traditional method. It's important that legal inputs are to be used in the initial stages to define design parameters, which is the ultimate substantial based of a contractual documentation (Burrows et al. 2012). The "process contact" is that contract which governs those manners in which the trade is being executed. This is ultimately different to a particular contract because it helps in governing the original tender after it has been sought (Duffy and Field 2014). To establish the breach of contract the plaintiff must establish: There was existence of contract enforceable by law between two parties; There was a breach in the term of the contract by the defendant; There was a loss suffered by the plaintiff as there was a breach of contract by the defendant. Case Laws- Australian Development Corporation Pty Ltd v. White Construction Pty Ltd Ors (1996): There was written agreement between ADC and ACT on 25th of February 1987 in which there was mentioned a design construction of the three-story building for office, a car parking and a building of twenty stories for which price of $19,535,00 was fixed. On 29th of February 1988, ACT stood other workers down and also dismissed the crew crane, the unions were in demand of crew crane, but ACT refused. In August 1988, the contract was terminated, and ADC proceeded to court against ACT to claim damages for breach of contract. In the proceedings, it was stated by the court that WIL and ACT were to complete the contract. It was thus represented as the fact of an existing contract and was untrue and was held that misleading and deceive led to contravention of section 52 of the act (Simon, 2016). In this question, it is stated that one of the tenders further provides information after the tender is closed so it is the mere case claimed in tort. So we can state that the information was not provided by tender so it can be brought under the action of negligence in tort as the quotation which is provided is in the expressed form, but the information doesn't guarantee the submitted bids which are based on bidders self-determinations and investigations. Further we can sate that there are courts discretion of court may extend based on the good reason but the validity should be maximum of three months (Vadi, 2014). Case law- Dillingham Constructions Pty Ltd v Downs (1972) 2 NSWLR. The advantages regarding the disputes of alternative resolution quite inexpensive and also solve disputes very soon related to the business like that of fashion. About the information, it is made to the parties confidentially and not by prejudice, which, means whatever is said or rather which is agreed during the process of negotiation cannot later be in action as litigation. The disadvantages can be stated as that ADR is quite unsuccessful and parties can incur unnecessarily on the delay as well as cost as there was return in a system of court's litigation. There was an agreement between Seal Bay and ECL's board that the budget of $200 million but later ECL contracted with Seal Bay for 150 million and also said could deliver it on time, date was fixed on 1 December 2012 but failed to contract, but they decided to settle it among themselves following the rules of arbitration (Buchman, 2012). Case Laws- Mulley v Manifold (1959) 103 CLR 341. In this situation it can be stated that there must be a proper settlement between ECL's v Seal Bay as the dispute arouse regarding the law of contract as the date fixed for agreement has passed that is 1st of December 2012. As a project manager there must be a sitting with the Lawyer of the company and according to my opinion, it must be settled outside the court premises among the parties fixing another certain date. The project manager will act as mediator tosettle the dispute among the company. So we can sate that each of the parties gets equal opportunity to provide relevant evidence. The mediators can never act as a judge, but have to give the surety that the mediation will be in a smooth form and also constructive. Later when all the parties finishes producing their event version to draw a conclusion which will include all valuable points and won't support any unnecessary arguments. (Lien and Law, 2016).
