Fenwick Elliott Annual Review 2013/2014

One of the most important talking points this year has been the impact of the latest reforms to the CPR or court procedural rules. Our latest Review considers these and other changes to the CPR including those which may have an impact when the court considers whether or not to allow expert evidence. We follow that discussion with an update on the likely changes to the public procurement tender process in 2014. We then look at e-disclosure and its potential impact on trials and provide an update on Building Information Modelling (BIM) focusing on the legal and contractual implications of BIM. Following the Court of Appeal’s decision tin the Systech V Harrington case we also discuss the question of the liability of adjudicators.

There are plenty more articles for your consideration, the links to which are below or you can download a PDF of the full Review by completing the “Download our Annual Review” form.
