Clancy Docwra v E.ON: Take care when defining the scope of works

Contracting parties often place too much faith on bespoke amendments and the precedence of contract documents when imposing risk on others, having insufficient regard to the bargain reached between the parties and to the tender correspondence and other documentation included in formal contract bundles.  However, the TCC case of Clancy Docwra Ltd v E.ON Energy Solutions Ltd [2018] acts as a reminder that documents appended to the back of a contract can narrow the scope of contract works. Clauses which seek to allocate risk are rendered redundant if they relate to works that are not included in the contract works.
