The Event
Join 39 Essex Chambers for a discussion on the recent judgment handed down for Abbey Healthcare (Mill Hill) Ltd v Augusta 2008 LLP (formerly Simply Construct (UK) LLP) [2024] UKSC 23.
The Supreme Court handed down judgment last week in Abbey v Simply [2024] UKSC 23, allowing Abbey’s appeal and holding that the collateral warranty in that case was not a construction contract, contrary to the judgment of the majority in the Court of Appeal (Coulson and Peter Jackson LJJ). As a consequence, the adjudication provisions in section 108 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 did not apply to the collateral warranty.
Join us for a webinar in which Vivek Kapoor, Patrick Hennessey and David Hopkins will discuss this landmark case, including:
- The reasons the Supreme Court allowed the appeal
- What this means for beneficiaries of collateral warranties
- Implications for the construction industry
There will also be an opportunity for questions and discussion. Questions can be sent in advance to Events@39essex.com or the webinar using Zoom’s Q&A function.
