There have been several important court decisions, and also changes in what may be claimed as a result of the Amendments to the SOP Act. Issues to be covered will include (1) whether claims may be brought if the contract has been terminated or already concluded; (2) when a wrongly made claim is considered a fraudulent claim that may be challenged In court; (3) whether bond monies can be considered and taken into account in an adjudication; and (4) whether all prolongation claims are really barred by the new amendments to the SOP Act.
