Entreprenörens ansvar för fel i utförd entreprenad efter hävning enligt AB 04 - Särskilt om avhjälpande som påföljd

När ett entreprenadavtal som införlivat AB 04 hävs, omfattar hävningen endast de ”återstående arbetena”, eftersom de redan utförda arbetena inte kan återgå till entreprenören. Beställaren behåller i stället dessa arbeten, och entreprenören gottskrivs arbetenas värde med hänsyn till eventuella fel. Men vad gäller om fel senare konstateras i de utförda arbetena? AB 04 anger att en garanti- och ansvaWhen a construction contract incorporating AB 04 is terminated, the termination only covers the remaining works, since the work already performed can-not be reversed. The client retains the performed works, and the contractor is credited for their value, taking into account any defects. But what applies if defects are later discovered in the completed works? Since such defects were not considered

Utvärderande av nya LED-moduler avsedda för nattfjärilsfällor

Har verkligen denna nya fälla för nattfjärilar vad som krävs för att störta den äldre modellen? LED har börjats använda i större grad bland levandefällor för nattfjärilar, och Lunds Universitet har förut endast köpt en sådan typ av fälla från Nederländerna.
