PLAYING THE GAME

摘要

This is another "pipe-up or pay-up" case. Main contractor Logan Construction (South East) Ltd had its beady eye on £lm extra income because its customer Surrey & Sussex HealthCare NHS Trust's payless notice was not up to snuff. It hadn't "piped-up" properly said Logan. Be that as it may, said Surrey & Sussex HealthCare, your application for payment doesn't pass muster; it isn't a proper application, so it doesn't matter if our payless notice is not good. And so it is that up and down our building sites this parlour game - "Payoply" - is making quantity surveyors very excited.
