Part of the tender conditions, was that the placed the risk of the soil conditions on the tenderer. Once the earthworks had started, the excavated materials were discovered to have a higher water content than stated in the tender documents.

The matter was referred to arbitration, which DFA lost, and they appealed to the High Court, seeking relief for mistake. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dennis Friedman (Earthmovers) Ltd v Rodney County Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
