520 _aHighlights the case "Gibson Lea Retail Interiors v Makro Self Service Wholesalers" which examined whether the Construction Act covered fixtures and fittings. Gibson Lea, a shopfitting firm, had manufactured, supplied and installed gondolas at four of Makro's, a cash-and-carry wholesaler, stores. On Makro's failure to pay up, Gibson Lea applied for adjudication but it was decided that gondolas were not a 'part of the land' and were not 'construction operations'. The judge held that the words 'forming part of the land' in the Construction Act 1996 s105(2) indicated parliament's intention to introduce the existing law on fixtures into the act and therefore that law must be applied.
