Construction Law Terms and Definitions

After receiving some feedback about my first case comments, I realized that for anyone without legal training, even contractors who deal with legal documents on a daily basis, some common legal terms might be foreign in meaning. The obvious solution was to create a quick list of contract and construction law terms and definitions. The list is not exhaustive, but I will modify it as terms come up in the future. And, of course, the definitions are prepared with a view to construction law in Canada and construction law in Newfoundland and Labrador in particular.
