Welcome to the 28th issue of BuildLaw® in which we draw on the experience and expertise of leading experts in the field to bring you commentary, articles and reviews on topical matters relating to construction law. In this issue we feature natural justice and adjudications. We also look at representative defect claims and exclusion clauses, further amendments to the Arbitration Act, and the recent New Zealand Court of Appeal decisions in Ebert Construction v Sansom & Anor in which the Court found that payments made under a direct agreement by a financier to a builder are not voidable transactions and Torchlight which dealt with the application of the penalties doctrine under NSW law. In ‘Case in Brief’ Jeremy Glover discusses the recent UK TCC decision in Dawnus Construction Holdings Ltd v Marsh Life Ltd [2017] in which Marsh claimed there had been a breach of natural justice in relation to corrections made under the slip rule.
