Also, I agree that it would be nice to dock the pay of contractors who do not complete all works and I can see a client trying this on...but they would have a hard time proving this without alerting the curator in the process as any contractor would simply say "well, you got your condition discharged didn't you?".
I don't qute follow. Surely the Contractor must execute the contract, i.e. carry out the works described in the specification forming part of the contract. If the work was not done, or was not done in accordance with the contract, then it either has to be done or rectified, or the final contract sum can be adjusted. Same as construction (or any other contract). Simply discharging a planning condition won't have anything to do with it, unless the contract actually was just to get it discharged, which I trust is unlikely.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
