Term debates often spawn delays in payment, completion issues and retention difficulties. Legal claims for breach of contract are the natural consequence.
Did you know that the United States has had two measurements for “foot” since 1959 the International Foot and the U.S. Survey Foot? In 1959, the relationship of the foot to the meter was made more exact than it had been when imperial measures were tied to meters in 1893. When that happened, the older “Surveyor’s Foot” was left in place, a few microns longer than the redefined “International Foot.”
While
measures that small may not seem to matter, disagreements over the proper foot have led to real and expensive problems. The National Institute of Standards and Technology notes that failures to specify the appropriate foot have led to professional liability claims, land sale and project delays, boundary disputes, and increased overhead due to having to manage the miniscule measurements.
