Protocol in Assessing Loss and Expense Claim for Malaysian Public Project

Abstract

The majority of Standard forms of building contracts contain loss and expense clauses that enable an equitable contractual remedy for the Employer's contract violations without labelling them as such. There is frequent reluctance to pay such fees, and the burden of proof increases, as actual expenditures associated with the violating event must be established. A claim for breach of contract damages may be brought under common law. While loss and expense claims are frequently made in connection with delays, they can be made for any incident the Contractor suffers damage due to the Employer's failure. It is critical that all contract terms relating to loss and expense, particularly modified terms, are properly understood. Based on the findings, it will also present the achievement of the study's objectives.
