Course duration: 1 Day
Cost: £325 + VAT
This programme is not a timetable, but an agenda for the various areas to be discussed, and is therefore flexible. It allows time to discuss the problems and answer questions. Therefore although it appears to be in lecture format, sessions should be more discussion than lecture. The aim is to explain how the conditions will fit into a contract and then to take people through the relevant contract clauses on each topic, to explain what they give you and how to use them.
