260			_bThe Supreme Court, _c15 January 2026
520			_aSupreme Court judgement clarifying termination rights under JCT Design and Build contracts. In summary, when a client pays late, the Contractor has the right to issue a ‘warning notice’ for termination, which has a time limit (usually 28 days) for the payment to be made, and in the case in question, the Client paid up within that period. When that late payment happened again six months later, the Contractor thought they had the right to terminate immediately, based on the previous notice six months earlier. Not so, said the judge – each payment must be looked at in isolation.
