Discusses the case "Lloyd Projects v John Malnick" (TCC, unreported) which considered whether oral contracts may be subject to the provisions of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. It was decided that all material terms of a construction contract and not just evidence of the existence of the contract needed to be evidenced in writing if the contract is to be brought within the ambit of the Act. On these grounds the judge refused to allow Lloyd's application to enforce the decision of the adjudicator.
