Built
on the wealth of practical, commercial and legal experience accumulated
by the authors, the 1st supplement to the 14th edition Hudson’s Building and Engineering Contracts provides a comprehensive update on the law and interpretation of construction contracts.
The
main developments of note during 2020 which the supplements covers are
related to adjudication and insolvency. Bresco v. Lonsdale affirmed an
insolvent company’s right to adjudicate and confirmed that the scheme of
the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 was not
inconsistent with the rules governing the distribution of assets in
insolvency. The Corporate, Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 contains
provisions both of a temporary and permanent effect and the supplement
covers this topic.
Apart
from updates to insolvency and adjudication, this first Supplement
contains a number of cases of interest which, as a matter of generality,
illustrate the application of established principles, rather than
breaking new ground. One of a number of particular areas of interest is
the development of the jurisprudence in relation to damages for a loss
of chance illustrated in the recent cases in Chapter 7.
