What should be checked before terminating?
The ground relied on, the notices already served, the cure period and the form of notice. Then the consequences: guarantees, retention, plant, materials and handover. We prepare a checklist and a draft notice.
What if you have received a termination notice?
Do not ignore it. Check whether the notice is valid and time-limited, preserve evidence, and consider what must be done to cure or to challenge. A late reaction can be costly.
What follows termination?
A valuation of work done, completion cost, claims and counterclaims, release or call of guarantees. Evidence from the project record carries the case. See abandonment.

Can I terminate for delay alone?
Only if the contract allows and the delay meets the test. Notice steps usually apply.
Can a termination be reversed?
Sometimes by agreement. Otherwise it is challenged through proceedings.
