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.
