Hi,
I know this might sound simple but I always wonder what are the ponts to consider when determining whether a contract exist?
For example:
a situation between a subcontractor and a main contractor.
The MC sent out an enquiry to the subcontractor with a form for entering their quotation, a list of conditions & terms, a BQ, some drawings and all the preliminary details from the main contract.
The SC submitted a quotation in their own letter heading and priced the BQ
A pre order meeting was held.
SC came on site and work
A dispute arise.
Lets assume it is building work, not a civil
1) Is there a sub contract in place?
2) What constitute a sub contract in this case?
3) What implications if there is no contract in place, to
a) SC
b) MC
