- HCCT57/2016
The 24/1 email together with the attached bill of quantities constituted a counter-offer that the Plaintiff accepted by commencing work with knowledge of its terms; therefore the contract rates are those set out in the 24/1 BQ. The Defendant failed to prove that SK rates applied or that the Plaintiff abandoned the contract as pleaded; the Plaintiff is not entitled to the EF coupler claim for lack of proof; the Defendant failed to prove rectification costs but proved extra costs for completion of 48m of works which are allowed on the counterclaim.
