The Scheme for Construction Contracts (England and Wales) Regulations 1998
Part II of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 makes provision in relation to construction contracts. Section 114 empowers the Secretary of State to make the Scheme for Construction Contracts. Where a construction contract does not comply with the requirements of sections 108 to 111 (adjudication of disputes and payment provisions), and section 113 (prohibition of conditional payment provisions), the relevant provisions of the Scheme for Construction Contracts have effect.
