On 14 September 2011, PLC Construction broadcasted a webinar on the changes to Part II of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (Construction Act 1996) to be introduced by Part 8 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (LDEDC Act 2009) on 1 October 2011 in England and Wales. The webinar is now available on demand, to view at your convenience.

Our guest speakers were John Hughes-D'Aeth, partner, Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP and Lynne McCafferty, barrister, 4 Pump Court. John and Lynne considered:

The changes to the statutory payment rules for construction contracts.
The effects of the extension of the Construction Act 1996 to oral contracts.
How adjudication will change for construction contracts dated on or after 1 October 2011, including possible developments affecting adjudication enforcement in the Technology and Construction Court (TCC).

Following the webinar, we have uploaded a selection of materials, including suggested answers to some of the questions we did not have time to cover during the broadcast. A quiz, which may entitle you to a further 30 minutes of CPD, is also available.
