JCT adds simpler contract signing

A Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) product story

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Feb 26, 2008

Update has been issued by JCT (Joint Contracts Tribunal), introducing new forms for execution as a Deed and guidance notes to replace the existing form within JCT contracts.

The new forms facilitate an additional method for execution.

The attestation update, which comes as a result of the Companies Act 2006 (section 44(2)(b)), provides for a third method of execution as a Deed, allowing a signature by a single director, suitably witnessed, to suffice.

The new provision of the Companies Act 2006 takes effect from April 1, 2008.

The attestation update is available to download from the website.
