ABSTRACT

'Termination' is a word most commonly used in the context of commercial contracts to refer to the ending of the Contractor's employment under the Contract. Some contracts refer to termination of the contract, whilst others refer to the termination of the Contractor's employment under the contract. In practice, it makes little difference, because most contracts make express provision for what is to happen after termination, with the parties retaining certain rights and obligations. It is important to note that neither party should attempt to terminate employment under the contract unless they are sure that the provision is available within the contract. If termination is held to be wrongful, it is usually a repudiation of the contract. Under any of the reasons, whoever terminates, and whether the reason is included in the Termination Table or not, the Client may complete the service, either himself or using another Contractor, and may use any Plant and Materials provided by the Contractor.
