Construction legal expert Vincent Powell-Smith has questioned the
Latham Report's endorsement of the New Engineering Contract,
warning that it is full of traps for the unwary.
Powell-Smith said: 'It is ill-adapted to conventional building. A better alternative is about to be launched in the form of the private sector version of GC/Works/1 - the PSA/1. Published by HMSO this month in a 'with quantities' version, it will rival not only NEC but also JCT 80.
'PSA/1 does not deserve to be stifled at birth. It should have a fighting chance of survival and go on to make an impact based on its substantial and well thought-out merits.'
