Examines the legal situation of a subcontractor or supplier when a main contractor or other subcontractor further up the contractual chain becomes insolvent. In English law, there is no protection for those engaged on construction projects in such a situation, and this position is exacerbated by the lack of protection in standard forms of contract. The decision in "P4 Ltd v Unite Integrated Solutions plc" ([2005] QBD, TCC, not reported) however, confirms that if a materials supplier has the benefit of a retention of title clause then this cannot be defeated by the claims of a party higher up the contractual chain.
