Stevens & Bolton LLP - Claire Perry Lendlease Construction (Europe) Limited v Aecom Limited [2023] EWHC 2620 (TCC) Key takeaways Some key practical points to take away from the court’s findings noted above are: Clear wording will be required to step-down obligations from a main contract into a sub-contract and the contract will be construed “as a whole”. Consultants should be aware that contractual obligations to comply with and/or not to put the main contractor in breach of certain documents/requirements may imply a requirement for their design to achieve a specific result, even if still in the context of reasonable skill and care. For a claim for breach of contract, the cause of action generally accrues when the design is handed over to the contractor for construction. Whether any later duty arises to warn of the consequences of any subsequent changes will depend on the specific circumstances of each case. The wording of any settlement agreement should be carefully considered in the context of any other claims for which the parties are or should reasonably be aware of. Otherwise a party may find themselves unable to pursue another claim which they were or should have been aware of at that time. A reasonable settlement figure may form the basis of a claim, but proof is required to show that any such settlement sum is reasonable.

Another major milestone has been achieved at the One Bells Estate in Clyde. Four stages (Stages 9 to 12) have now been released after a successful construction period which was completed on time and under budget. The advantages and benefits of completing the four stages at the same time include efficiencies on bulk earthworks, multiple access points and economies of scale for construction materials and supplier priority. This means overall savings and punctual completion times for the client. #TeamTaylors #OneBellsEstate #CivilEngineering #Engineering #UrbanDevelopment #Construction #Residential #ResidentialDevelopment #HousingDevelopment #Expertise #Solutions #StatementofCompliance #Subdivision
