A common example of a contractual dispute is when you may have paid upfront for services that you haven’t yet received, such as a website design. You might have spent a lot of time and effort chasing up your supplier – or your client – who hasn’t met the terms of their contract.

Whether you are the supplier or the client, and whether it’s a simple task or complex project, it’s important to agree exactly what a contract covers before you start the project.
