can you amend an expired contract retroactively?
Re: Can we amend the expired contract? My opinion is that any contract has a specified life in itself. A procuring Entity can add life (by Extension) to a living contract before it is declared dead and buried(Expiry). Once a contract is dead (by way of expiry) it can not be returned back to life.
Usually it is a case of a contract expiring before weâve finished completing the services under the contract. We then draft an amendment, with an amendment effective date prior to the expiration date. The amendment references the agreement, provides for a new termination date, and then reaffirms the agreement.
