The Board may become entitled to terminate the Contract if the Contractor:
24.1 abandons the Works or fails to complete them before the long-stop date;
24.2 is convicted for a breach of Health and Safety law;
24.3 ceases to provide the services and effectively abandons the Contract;
24.4 breaches its obligations so that the provision of clinical services is materially and adversely affected;
24.5 accumulates a certain level of Warning Notices or Service Failure Points due to poor performance of the services;
24.6 fails to pay a sum which is due to the Board within a specified period of time;
24.7 transfers ("assigns") the Contract without the permission of the Board;
24.8 refinances the Contract without the Board's approval (see paragraph 34);
24.9 changes ownership so that it is controlled by a company of a type which the Board has stated is unacceptable (say - a tobacco or armaments manufacturer); or
24.10 ceases to carry on business, or is unable to pay its debts.
Where rectification is possible (for example, where the Contractor has failed to pay a sum to the Board) the Contract has provision for rectification of the default prior to the Board being entitled to exercise its rights to terminate.
