Article Abstract:
The use of inappropriate language and terminology in construction contracts may be the basic cause of many disputes. Examples which cause confusion include the term 'global claim.' This term can refer to claims where it is impossible to make a link between the events expected, the delay and the amount of losses claimed, or to claims where a link is possible, but the complexity of the situation makes it impossible to specifically relate the events to the financial consequences. However, the industry should avoid confusing a global claim with a total cost claim.
