Interpretation, rectification and scope of works
In
Clancy Docwra Ltd v E.ON Energy Solutions Ltd [2018] EWHC 3124 (TCC) Jefford J held, as a matter of interpretation of a sub-contract, that the scope of the works did include
a number of matters that had been specifically excluded by the sub-contractor. This being the case, it was not necessary to
rectify the contract between the parties, although, on the facts, Jefford J would have declined to rectify the contract given
the lack of common understanding between the parties.
