Construction Law Update Paper

9 March 2007

In a paper given to the Arbrix Construction Group in Belfast, Simon Tolson provides an update on some of the key developments in construction law over the past twelve months.  Amongst the topics covered are whether you can serve contractual documents by fax, whether mistaken advice on procurement issues amounts to professional negligence, whether you can use an expert's joint statement prepared for the purposes of mediation during subsequent legal proceedings, the JCT constructing excellence contract and also the importance of time limits in adjudication following the Hart Investments v Fidler and Cubitt v Fleetgate cases.
