Where a Contract is capable of two meanings, one of which is lawful and the other unlawful, the former should be preferred in the absence of sufficiently cogent countervailing factors: see The Interpretation of Contracts (7th ed.) at §§7.119-7.125, McMeel on the Construction of Contracts (3rd ed.) at §7.31, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ v ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (1831) 2 Dow & Cl 232 at 241-242 (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇). This follows from the established principle that the parties are inherently unlikely to have intended to agree to something unlawful, and therefore cogent evidence is required to prove such an intention: see BCCI v Ali [2002] 1 AC 251 at 269E-F (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇), Re H [1996] AC 563 at 586D-H (Lord ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇).

  • SUB-CONTRACTING 34.1. The Purchaser approves the appointment of the sub-contractors specified in Schedule 5.6 (Approved Sub-contractors) in respect of the obligations specified in that Schedule. 34.2. The Service Provider may not sub-contract its obligations under the Contract to other sub-contractors without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

Where the Service Provider enters into a sub-contract the Service Provider must ensure that a provision is included which: 34.3.1. requires payment to be made of all sums due by the Service Provider to the sub- contractor within a specified period not exceeding 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice as defined by the sub-contract requirements and provides that, where the Purchaser has made payment to the Service Provider in respect of Services and the sub-contractor’s invoice relates to such Services then, to that extent, the invoice must be treated as valid and, provided the Service Provider is not exercising a right of retention or set-off in respect of a breach of contract by the sub-contractor or in respect of a sum otherwise due by the sub-contractor to the Service Provider, payment must be made to the sub-contractor without deduction; 34.3.2. notifies the sub-contractor that the sub-contract forms part of a larger contract for the benefit of the Purchaser and that should the sub-contractor have any difficulty in securing the timely payment of an invoice, that matter may be referred by the sub-contractor to the Purchaser; 34.3.3. requires that all contracts with sub-contractors and suppliers which the sub- contractor intends to procure, and which the sub-contractor has not before the date of this Contract, already planned to award to a particular supplier are advertised through the Public Contracts Scotland procurement portal (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇) and awarded following a fair, open, transparent and competitive process proportionate to the nature and value of the contract; and 34.3.4. is in the same terms as that set out in this clause 34.3 (including for the avoidance of doubt this clause 34.3.4 subject only to modification to refer to the correct designation of the equivalent party as the Service Provider and sub-contractor as the case may be. 34.4. The Service Provider shall also include in every sub-contract: 34.4.1 a right for the Service Provider to terminate that sub-contract if the relevant sub- contractor fails to comply in the performance of its contract with legal obligations in the fields of environmental, social or employment law or if any of the termination events (involving substantial modification of the Contract, contract award despite the existence of exclusion grounds or a serious infringement of EU legal obligations) specified in clause 56.3 occur; and 34.4.2 a requirement that the sub-contractor includes a provision having the same effect as 34.4.1 in any sub-contract which it awards.
