    World Health Organization Includ The United Nations Environment Pogramme

    UNEP was established in 1972, and acts as a catalyst, advocate, and educator for the development of the global environment (United Nations Environment Programme). UNEP works directly with United Nations entities, national governments, and other organizations to better the environment (United Nations Environment Programme). UNEP is able to achieve this by devoting much of its energy to topics such as climate change, disasters and conflicts, ecosystem management, environmental guidance, harmful substances, and resource efficiency (United Nations Environment Programme). UNEP benefits the environment by making its resources available to governments, scientists, journalists, the civil society, business people, and even children (United Nations Environment…

    Three Selected Clauses
    • 984 Words

    Three Selected Clauses

    The liability of completing additional work requirements resulting from change order directives is shifted toward the subcontractor through the inclusion of a change order clause. This is applicable to the conditions stipulated within the change order clause stricken from the contract. The owner under this clause is given authority to freely issue work order directives with the consideration of the contractor. These changes potentially leave the subcontractor subjected to any actual damages suffered from persistent changes to contractual work obligations. The assumed work liability of the subcontractor is further enhanced by the ambiguous language used to outline the owner and contractor’s responsibilities when determining the acceptance of an issued change order directive. This can lead to an increase in vulnerability for a subcontractor who is bound to the changes made in an arbitrary decision making process. To mitigate the risk of change order directives, I recommend replacing the existing change order clause with a condition defining the parameters for substantial completion of work. The term substantial completion is often used to defend against claims made by the owner against a contractor accused of a breach in the contract. This term can also be utilized to defend…

    Contract Disputes

    Contract Disputes

    “CONTRACT DISPUTES REACH 15-YEAR HIGH”, was the heading of an article published, December 1, 2010 in the Government Executive. The heading in itself tells us that the government is doing more and more business by contract and as a result contractors who are lobbying for government business have become more aware of their rights to file disputes when it involves a loss of potential business. Because of this increase in disputes, the government must have a method of terminating contracts without suffering the financial liabilities that could result in millions and millions of dollars going to incomplete contracts and rebids to acquire a contractor for completion of unfinished contracts. This method of termination is known as a Default Clause which will be covered later in this paper. First we will look at a case that involves a contract dispute. The GAO file number: B-215789 which involves J.C. Hester Company, Inc who was awarded contract number: F34650-81-C-0158 with the Department of the Air Force. My reason for choosing this dispute case was because it requires that the individual look at all aspects of the case in reference to Disputes. Usually dispute cases depend on more than one aspect of the FAR. This case shows that not only the contractor but the contracting officer should pay strict attention to the reasons for the dispute. In this case knowledge of the Bids Protest Process area of the FAR is also required to determine if the recommendation by the Comptroller General was indeed valid and fair.…

    further aspects of contract and tort

    This assignment will strive to outline points of law including identifying key vitiating factors, including duress and undue influence and illegality as well as forms of discharge of a contract and remedies for that. It will also apply these laws to the cases provided to illustrate the application of these laws. Vitiating factors represent some sort of defect in the formation of the contract. Examples of this are that the contract is based on a mistake or a misrepresentation. Illegality on the other hand, is much more to do with the actual character of the agreement itself. It is of a type that the law frowns upon for some reason, for public policy or for other reasons it is not accepted as legitimate.…
