CERTIFICATION, LIMITATION AND PRESCRIPTION:
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LEGAL FRAMEWORKS IN THE UK AND SOUTH AFRICA
Join the Association of Arbitrators (Southern Africa) NPC, in collaboration with the Society of Construction Arbitrators, for this special online lecture, presented by Adv Kevin Trisk SC, to honour and celebrate Adv Patrick Lane SC’s passion, dedication, innovation and excellence to the arbitration community.
This in-depth lecture will explore the complex relationship between the certification of contractors’ entitlements to payment and employers’ rights to claim prescription or limitation on contractors’ rights. This event will provide a comparative analysis of the legal frameworks in the United Kingdom and South Africa, examining how certification interacts with limitation and prescription periods in construction and commercial contracts.
Key Topics
- How limitation and prescription periods affect contractors’ rights to payment;
- Practical implications for employers and contractors in both jurisdictions;
- What are the remedies, if any, if a party’s claim is expunged consequent upon the limitation or prescription of its claim?
