Housing Seminar - The new construction act
Venue: Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Changes to the Housing Grants Regeneration and Construction
Act 1996 came into force on
1 October 2011.
The new provisions about notices are particularly
important. Registered providers and others procuring
building and repair/maintenance works may
find that if they are not careful, the sum that their contractor or
subcontractor applies for becomes the “sum due” and can be claimed
in an adjudication. Meanwhile,
contractors also need
to know how to use the new rules to assist their cashflow.
There are also changes to the law on the right
to suspend work, clauses that provide for payment on the issue of
certificates under other contracts, payments due on contractor
insolvencies and adjudication.
This seminar is intended to be an informal and
practical review of these changes, with discussion and questions as
we go along. It
will be led by specialist lawyers from Weightmans’ national
Construction and Engineering team.
