520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Argues for a change in the law so that part-oral and part-written contracts are included within the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 s107, which requires a contract to be evidenced in writing before the Act applies to it. In RJT Consulting Engineers Ltd v DM Engineering (Northern Ireland) Ltd ([2002] EWCA Civ 270, X118297), the court held that not merely the contract itself, but all its terms, have to be evidenced in writing. This has caused great difficulties in the industry, as many contracts are not fully reduced to writing. Although the Latham Review strongly recommended that s107 be amended so that part-written, part-oral contracts come within its scope, nothing has so far been done.
