Construction and the Uniform Commercial Code: Battle of the Forms

 

Learn how to prepare for the battle of the forms.

When a construction contract first comes into being there is an intent for it and then purposeful creation of the contract. There can be a competitive bid or a negotiation between the parties before the execution of any documents that finalizes the agreement. However, there are situations that arise where attorneys find that there is a blind boilerplate purchase order that gives rise to the arrangement, that is rarely done by contract negotiation, which brings up the battle of the forms. This video reviews what happens during the battle of the forms.
