520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Considers why courts are not keen on hearing claims that make a negative case, for example, claiming a contract is not a construction contract. Notes that in such situations, a party wanting to prove a negative can wait for its opponent to claim a positive, although this can mean a lengthy adjudication claim. Discusses a recent case heard in Birmingham's Mercantile Court regarding the theft of goods whilst in international transit between England and Germany. In this instance the court issued a negative declaration, and the reasoning behind this decision could support a similar decision in a construction case.
