Third way - 2006 - Solicitors' Journal 150(5) 10 February 2006, 150-151(2) .

Reports on the impact of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 on the construction industry. The Act confers rights on a person who is not a party to a contract to enforce contract terms in certain circumstances. Examines some of the reasons why the Act has not been more widely used, and why there is still a general reliance on collateral warranties in the industry.
