ABSTRACT
A AAC See Autoclaved aerated concrete. Abandonment A failure or refusal to continue performance of a contract
on a permanent basis, particularly by a contractor under a construction contract. An abandonment will usually give rise to a right on the part of the employer to regard himself as discharged from further performance of his part of the contract and claim damages for breach, or to determine the contractor’s employment under the express terms of the contract. A contractor now has a right to suspend performance on the grounds of non-payment under s112 of the Construction Act.
