Net contribution clause did not include main contractor
by PLC Construction
In West and another v Ian Finlay & Associates (A Firm) [2013] EWHC 868 (TCC), Edwards-Stuart J in the Technology and Construction Court (TCC) dealt with a fact-specific negligence claim against an architect. In doing so, he applied existing authorities on negligence claims against professional consultants and found that a net contribution clause did not include reference to the main contractor.
Note (1 April 2014): Edwards-Stuart J's decision was overturned by the Court of Appeal in West and another v Ian Finlay & Associates (a firm) [2014] EWCA Civ 316. For more information see Legal update, Net contribution clause rule effective (Court of Appeal).
