Summary

For the position at common law, see the judgment of Phillimore J:

'A man who contracts to do a long costly piece of work does not contract, unless he expressly says so that he will do all the work, standing out of pocket until he is paid at the end. He is entitled to say, "...there is an understanding all along that you are to give me from time to time, at the reasonable times, payments for work done."'
