Construction Update September 2011

The summer 2011 edition of the Fishburns Construction Update is available to download now. This edition of the update includes a review from Matt Olorenshaw of the Honourable Mr Justice Coulson which provides a helpful reminder of the approach which should be taken to pleading a case of professional negligence. Robert Calnan looks at a recent TCC decision which appears to suggest that parties to an adjudication can refuse to accept any adjudicator, on any grounds, however spurious. Jonathan Brown reviews the current position relating to contractor liability for pure economic loss following Robinson v Jones and John Wevill also reviews a recent Scottish case relating to the effect of the Construction Act on developers' rights to discontinue projects leaving contractors and consultants out of pocket.
