Re: AMA thread
Same applies to homophobic and provocative racial comments also, though neither are quite as frequent nor as casual.

Re: AMA thread
Does an EPC contractor's general obligation to supply in accordance with the EPC contract's specifications preclude his asserting force majeure in the event that he has procured a product that became contaminated further down the supply chain?

Re: AMA thread
No, it has two layers of protection. Firstly it is the General Conditions of Contract and not the Specifications that deal with the the matter of Force Majeure. Secondly, you can't contract out of the law, so there may well be implied terms in the Contract that deal with a Force Majeure event. Except of course if the EPC Contractor is operating in Qatar, in which case the executives risk a travel ban and jail time unless they withdraw all claims and apologise for any insult they may have caused.

I actually meant provisions, which are spread over both the Conditions and the Specifications; the FM provisions are in the Conditions, as are the obligations to supply in accordance with the Spec, so priority is not an issue. English law, so no implied terms in this respect. Thankfully we're not at risk here of upsetting to the point of exclusion. I was, however, made persona non gratia in Egypt for a year, which was a pleasant respite.

Sad fact is I actually know what you two are on about (had a contracts chap as a colleague for many years, many years ago) hence you can tell I am also a party-on type of guy!
