The JCT Contracts 2011 edition reflects new payment legislation and makes other changes which include:

• A revised Insolvency definition in the Termination section
• The revised Terrorism Cover provisions that were included in JCT's December 2009 Update
• The provision for appointment of the principal contractor under CDM Regulations has been extended to cover that function under the Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008
• Statutory reference to the Bribery Act 2010
• Entries in respect of PI insurance relating to asbestos and fungal mould have been removed
• Revised retention provisions in the sub-contracts

The JCT 2011 Contracts should be used for construction contracts entered into after Part 8 of the new Construction Act comes into force on 1 October 2011. Consequently the JCT Contracts 2011 published before the Part 8 of the Construction Act comes into force will make it clear that they should not be used prior to that date.
