Edwin Coe would like to invite you to our first construction law seminar for 2018 which will be held on Wednesday, 28 February 2018. We would be delighted if you and your colleagues could join us for a lively discussion and networking.
This seminar will be led by Nik Haria, and will include presentations by Brenna Baye and guest speaker, David Pliener, Barrister from Hardwicke.
Agenda
- Construction Bill and Retentions update – Join us for a review of the Government’s consultation on retentions in the construction industry and the development of the Construction (Retention Deposit Schemes) Bill, along with a general discussion about retentions including alternatives to retentions and what can be done if monies are not released by an employer.
- Professional Negligence in Construction Claims: “Did the rules just change and nobody told us?” – This session will focus on whether the well-established rules in ‘Bolam’ still apply or whether the developing jurisprudence in the sphere of clinical negligence in cases such as Montgomery will be applied to construction professionals.
