         <description><![CDATA[



An occasional (and not usually very remunerative) client of the contentious construction lawyer is the houseowner who is experiencing the builders from hell.&#160; (About as frequent is the builder who finds himself at the wrong end of the client from hell, but let’s leave that for a future article.)
I need not dwell long on the experience itself.&#160; Its unique joys are well known; perhaps you have learned of them from a relative, friend or neighbour, or have even suffered them...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[



Performance bonds have long been used in the construction industry to protect building owners or developers (“employers”) from the consequences if the main contractor becomes insolvent, or (a much less frequent occurrence) if the contractor remains solvent but fails to carry out and complete the works.&#160; In a performance bond a surety - usually a bank or insurance company - effectively gives the employer a guarantee of the contractor’s performance.

         <description><![CDATA[It is not always a good idea for clients to use JCT building  contracts unamended.
