By: Language: English Series: Building ; 272(8495) 31 August 2007, 47(1)Publication details: 2007Subject(s): Summary: Considers government proposals to extend the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 to include oral contracts as well as written agreements. Supports this proposal, but argues against Bingham's view ("Building" 6 July 2007, p57) that the legislation should cover all agreements regardless of whether they are contracts. Also disagrees with Bingham's interpretation of "Bennett v Inviron" ([2007] EWHC 49 (QB), L137085) and argues that the relationship that existed in "Bennett" cannot be characterised as an agreement of any sort.
