The changes introduced led to a number of controversial decisions. The Review features two contrasting pieces. We provide an update on what you need to know, about BIM focusing on the legal and contractual implications. In the summer of 2014, Mr Justice Akenhead delivered a very lengthy judgment involving a dispute under the FIDIC yellow book. The Review features three articles arising out of that judgment.
