Experience Highlights

• Represented a client in a £1m construction dispute. A claim was made against my client for rectification costs and damages following construction works on numerous solar farms across the United Kingdom. In summary, the Opponent was claiming that the work was not undertaken exercising reasonable care and skill.  Under the terms of a subcontract the matter was referred to Adjudication and a nominated Adjudicator to decide on the dispute.  The heads of claim were successfully defended through the Adjudication and the Opponents claim was dismissed.
• Represented a client in a dispute surrounding inadequate workmanship on his narrow boat. My client had instructed a professional boat building company to extend a narrowboat he had intended to live on.  The extension works were agreed and undertaken at significant cost including decorative work and modern installations.  When the narrowboat was launched back onto the canal, it began to sink!  Various repair works were undertaken by the boat builder but to no avail.  A claim was issued against the boat builder and following a contested trial a judgment was successfully secured for my client.
