Episode 5 of the Journey Through a Contract series discusses contract scope; the elements of the contract which tells the parties what is to be delivered under it, whether that be goods, services or a combination of both.
In this episode of the Journey Through a Contract series, James Haikney and Fleur Gribble provide some tips on crafting a good contract scope and examine what can go wrong if it is not given the attention it deserves.
