Simon Tolson, in a paper given at a joint TeCSA/TECBAR conference in Birmingham, sets out a number of practical tips learnt over the years in his dealings with the Technology and Construction Court. Amongst the topics covered are the construction and engineering pre-action protocol, case management conferences and fast-track cases. The paper ends with a case study which demonstrates the adaptability of the Technology and Construction Courts and the need for adaptability on the part of those using them.
