520 _aThe new Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) came into effect in April 1999. Examines a key component of these rules - the Pre-Action Protocols. A pre-action protocol specifically for construction and engineering disputes came into force in October 2000, and applies to all disputes typically managed by the Technology and Construction Court. Details the aims and requirements of the pre-action protocol. Overall, it seeks to avoid the premature commencement of litigation proceedings. Warns of the likely sanctions for failure to comply with the pre-action protocol. Considers "Paul Thomas Construction Ltd v Hyland", which discussed CPR and the pre-action protocol.
