The commissioning party is the party that, on the basis of an assignment agreement (Article 7: 400 BW), gives the nomination to perform work to a contractor.
Obligations
Under the contract, the commissioning party has several obligations towards the contractor. For example, he or she is obliged to:
- pay wages to the contractor; and
- reimburse the expenses incurred by the contractor if these are not included in the wages.
Termination
The commissioning party can terminate the agreement at any time. However, in some cases – if reasonableness and fairness entail this – the party is liable for damages.
