Court Rules Substantial Completion Means "Substantial", Saving Contractor's Claim from Dismissal - In previous columns, we have written about contracts where the parties have reduced the applicable statute of limitations from the generally applicable six years to as little as six months. The issue with such contracts is that they are often written so that the limitations period runs before the claim accrues—which will result in a court invalidating the provision entirely. However, not every construction contract has such a provision. As can be seen from the recent case of Eurotech Construction Corp. v Skanska USA Building Inc., even where there is not a shortened limitations period in the contract, it is equally crucial to determine when the claim actually accrues so that the statute of limitations can be properly applied. https://www.wbgllp.com/single-publication.php?type=3&id=323
APPELLATE COURT INVALIDATES SHORTENED STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WHICH EFFECTIVELY NULLIFIED CLAIM...Construction contracts, like other contracts, are meant to define the relationship between the parties to the contract. In that regard, the parties are generally free to negotiate the terms of that contract. It is only where the contractual language at issue is contrary to statute, against public policy, or is unreasonable, will a court decline to enforce the contract, as negotiated between the parties: https://www.wbgllp.com/single-publication.php?type=3&id=320
Safety Policy - Rare OSHA Win for an Employer Based on "Unpreventable Employee Misconduct"...On occasion, I’ve cautioned against over-enthusiasm for the “unpreventable employee misconduct” defense in OSHA contest proceedings. Basically, that’s because the requirements to establish that defense are more exacting than most people think. https://www.wbgllp.com/single-publication.php?type=2&id=319
Returning to Work in the Covid-19 Era - One month ago, when this column last appeared, not much was known about the progress of the COVID-19 virus. The “curve” was peaking (although we did not know it at the time), and it was not known how long New York’s “pause” would last. Since then, although schools have been closed for the remainder of the year, we are at a point where the pause will be lifting, and construction will be in the vanguard. However, with most job sites idled for the last several weeks, we now have to think about how to proceed again once those sites open, and how to begin to recover from the effects of the shutdown. This column will address two concerns relating to the resumption of work (and the continuation of work on “essential” job sites that never shut down). https://www.wbgllp.com/single-publication.php?type=3&id=318

Attorneys' Column - FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CONTRACTUALLY REQUIRED
NOTICE OF CLAIM DOOMS ALL PARTIES’ CLAIMS..Construction contracts, like other contracts, are meant to define the relationship between the parties to the contract. With the exception of certain provisions which have been held to violate public policy (pay-if-paid, pre-emptive lien waivers, indemnification of a party for its own negligence, etc.), contracts will generally be enforced as written. The principle was once again underscored by an appellate court in the recent case of Redwing Construction Co., Inc. v Sexton, with regards to a notice of claim provision.

Legal Alert - N.Y. Labor Law §220: The Burden of the Prevailing Wage on Closely-Held Business Entities.
The Prevailing Wage was enacted to ensure that workers on public works projects are properly classified and receive what the State determines to be the “prevailing wage” from their employers; however, what happens when one of these workers is also the owner of their own company? Must the Prevailing Wage still be paid and all of the associated taxes and expenses incurred?https://www.wbgllp.com/single-publication.php?type=5&id=157
