Drafting a specification is important because these documents become embedded within the contract and therefore, are legally binding. Is this statement true?
A.
No, because legally binding contracts only contain terms and conditions
B.
No, as the specification is separate to the contract and has no legal standing
C.
Yes, care needs to be taken because the specification should be part of the contract
D.
Yes, because all specifications must be approved by the organisation's board according to legislation
Specifications are normally attached as schedules and form part of the contract; they define deliverables and performance standards.
Therefore, once signed, they become legally binding — errors or ambiguity can create disputes.
