Nursing and residential care contracts

Nursing and residential care contracts When entering a care home, the future relationship between the new resident and the administrators of the home should be governed by the terms of a contract between them. If the resident is self-funded, this is particularly important. Unfortunately, if they are not self-funded and are relying on local authority-funded accommodation, they will not be a party to the contract, though they will still be entitled to see a statement of terms and conditions. There are two elements that the practitioner should consider: • whether the contract covers all relevant areas • whether any term can be considered unfair The contract After many years' concern over the quality of care homes, the Care Standards Act 2000 (CSA 2000) modernised the regulatory system for care services and independent health care. In particular, National Minimum Standards, which apply to all care homes providing accommodation and nursing or personal care, were introduced as a result of CSA 2000 by the appropriate minister. These are amended...

Which price index is most appropriate for use as a reference point in a price review clause for a manufacturing agreement? Are the Services Producer Price Index or Producer Price Indices appropriate? Are there any ways of linking price review clauses to accurately reflect changes in the price of raw materials and/or manufacturing costs?

Which price index is most appropriate for use as a reference point in a price review clause for a manufacturing agreement? Are the Services Producer Price Index or Producer Price Indices appropriate? Are there any ways of linking price review clauses to accurately reflect changes in the price of raw materials and/or manufacturing costs? A price variation clause is often included in a contract where the parties wish to cover inflation risk in respect of a price contained within the contract. Such clauses typically reference the price index to which any variation in price for the goods and service provided under the contract should be calculated (and an applicable date or period against which the index is applied to the base price). See Precedent and accompanying Drafting Notes: Price variation clauses. It is a matter of commercial negotiation which index is applied to a price variation clause, and it is advisable to seek the instructions of any client stakeholders who have a commercial interest in the...

Where a subsidiary is sold, and a parent company guarantee is not released or novated to the new parent company, is the ‘old’ parent company still liable for its former subsidiary’s performance under the guarantee?

Where a subsidiary is sold, and a parent company guarantee is not released or novated to the new parent company, is the ‘old’ parent company still liable for its former subsidiary’s performance under the guarantee? Guarantees are given by a guarantor (in this case, the parent company) in favour of a third-party beneficiary in respect of the obligations owed by another party (in this case, the subsidiary) to that beneficiary. In general, parties are named parties and the starting point is that the guarantee is given until the obligations of the obligor are satisfied under the relevant contract or the beneficiary releases the guarantor from the guarantee. For further information, see Practice Note: Guarantees and indemnities—general contract. However, a guarantee will be enforceable in accordance with its terms and it is therefore important to check the guarantee to ascertain whether liability of the parent guarantor is limited in time or expressed or intended to be given by the parent company only during a period when the parent...

Court rejects attempt to limit contractual design responsibility where design provided was insufficiently progressed (Workman Properties v ADI Building and Refurbishment)

Construction analysis: The Technology and Construction Court (TCC) considered a Part 8 application brought by a losing party in an adjudication where declarations were sought as to the extent of a Contractor’s design responsibility under a JCT Design & Build Contract. The TCC held that although there was a ‘warranty’ contained within the Employer’s Requirements stating that the design would be developed up to RIBA Stage 4/4(i), this did not negate the contractor’s overall responsibility for design contained in the contract and thus did not entitle the contractor to a variation, time or additional money in completing the design.
