“Changes to the Construction Act – What do they mean in practice?”

November 2011

In this presentation, David Toscano covers the key changes to the payment and adjudication provisions of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 brought in by the Local Democracy, Economic Development & Construction Act 2009 in October 2011. This includes the expansion of the application of adjudication to oral contracts and a revised payment regime to expand rights to suspend work for late payment.
