Edwin Coe’s Autumn Construction Seminar

2026 has been another landmark year for the construction industry. From important appellate guidance on product liability and payment provisions to proposed legislation that could transform payment practices across the sector, the legal landscape continues to evolve at pace.

Join Edwin Coe’s Construction Team for our Autumn Construction Law Update as we examine the decisions and developments that every contractor, consultant, developer and construction professional should have on their radar.

We will explore the key legal and commercial developments shaping the sector, including:

• the Court of Appeal’s decision in Mulalley & Co Ltd v Sto SE & Sto Ltd and its implications for contractors, product manufacturers and those seeking to recover the costs of remedial works;
• the continued importance of correctly identifying final dates for payment, following the decision in Deerns UK Ltd v VDC LHR11 Ltd;
• the relationship between Pre-Construction Services Agreements and subsequent construction contracts, as considered in Belong (Construction) Limited v Seddon Construction Limited; and
• the potential impact of the Commercial Payments Bill and the significant changes it could introduce to payment practices, cash flow management and risk allocation throughout the supply chain.

We look forward to discussing what these developments mean in practice and how businesses can prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
