520			_a[2006] EWHC 1771 (TCC), 13 July 2006. Concerns a letter of intent issued in relation to works to be carried out at C's property. Following the issue of the letter of intent there were delays to the project, and no contract could be agreed. The contractors subsequently withdrew and the architects CF suspended work due to non-payment of their fees. C claimed that CF had been negligent in allowing C to issue the letter of intent since it was premature or inappropriate. The judge discussed some potential problems with letters of intent, but acknowledged that they could be a useful tool if certain preconditions relating to agreement of price and workscope, contract terms, programme of works and need were satisfied. "Held": there was no reason why a letter of intent should not have been issued and it was not premature. CF were awarded the sum, including interest, of their unpaid fees. Costs were dealt with separately.
