In this webinar, Tim Leung, Sean Leung and Glenn Hide examined the NEC4 obligation to act in a spirit of mutual trust and co-operation through the lens of philosophy, governance and leadership. The session explores:

🔸 The relationship between clauses 10.1, 10.2 and 11.2(13)
🔸 Behavioural leadership and governance under NEC4
🔸 Communication, transparency and contractual discipline
🔸 Common misunderstandings around mutual trust and co-operation
🔸 Balancing commercial entitlement with productive working relationships

It dives more deeply into what clause 10.2 means in practice; how it links to governance, behaviour and day-to-day NEC administration, and why the clause continues to generate debate across the industry.
