Save yourself time and expense and remember the three C's
Franklin, Kim
Save yourself time and expense and remember the three C's - 2005 - Architects' Journal 221(15) 21 April 2005, 46(1) .
Gives advice on construction litigation in the context of the introduction of the pre-action protocol for construction and engineering disputes. This encourages parties to settle before they begin proceedings, but notes that this requires the parties to behave in a sensible commercial way. Notes that in some situations such as "Skanska Construction UK Ltd v Egger (Barony) Ltd" ([2005] EWHC 284 (TCC), unreported) the parties are still in dispute right up to the end. Recommends that the three C's are followed: resolve what you can contemporaneously; take a commercial approach to any dispute; and think about cooperating with the other side to work towards a resolution.
