    Savoye and Savoye Limited v Spicers Limited [2014] EWHC 4195 (TCC)
    This summary was provided by CMS Cameron McKenna LLP. For more information visit http://www.cms-cmck.com/Construction/Construction-Disputes summary The installation of a conveyer system in a factory building fell within the meaning of “construction operations” in section 105(1) of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (“HGCRA”) and in particular “form[ed] part of the land”. An Adjudicator therefore had jurisdiction to decide on a dispute in relation to these works. Whether something forms or is to form part of the land is ultimately a question of fact and degree. In coming to a decision on whether or not works under a contract “form part of the land”, one of the criteria for “construction operations” as defined in sections 150(1)(a) to (c), the Court is to have reference to the principles of law relating to...

    Imtech Inviron Limited v Loppingdale Plant Limited [2014] EWHC 4006 (TCC)
    This summary was provided by CMS Cameron McKenna LLP. For more information visit http://www.cms-cmck.com/Construction/Construction-Disputes summary When drafting a contract, parties must make their intention to incorporate adjudication provisions from a separate agreement clear. A mere reference in general to the fact that the terms of a separate agreement is to apply is unlikely to incorporate the adjudication provisions of that separate agreement. Additionally, parties should ensure that the scope of the initial referral to the adjudicator, the Adjudication Notice, is defined clearly. BACKGROUND Loppingdale Plant Limited, (“LPL”) and Stansted Airport Ltd (“Stansted”) entered into a Framework Agreement (the “Agreement”) under which LPL was to provide services in accordance with Stansted’s capital projects programme. Under the Agreement, Stansted...
