Bennett, S
The copyright catch - 2001 - HouseBuilder May 2001, 24(1) .
Considers how issues of copyright are often neglected by planners, and highlights that the original author of an architectural drawing will always own the copyright if there is no agreement to the contrary. Discusses the case of "Cala Homes (South) Limited v Alfred McAlpine Homes East Limited" where the developer wanted to use architectural drawings created by joint authorship for another development. Also examines the case of "Blair v Osborne and Tomkins" which considers the rights of a third party to use drawings to further develop a site. Concludes that to avoid confusion, a standard form agreement which clearly state who owns copyright in drawings or designs is advisable.
