Posted by EconlawAdmin

in Uncategorized

Contractor’s Civil Liability Construction contracting, while not governed by specific legal provisions, constitutes a distinct form of a work contract. As such, it is regulated by Articles 681–702 of the Greek Civil Code (GCC), with supplementary provisions from Articles 717–723 and 726–728 GCC under certain conditions.
