Beale & Co Reports from the courts
Fiona Mckay
Chapter partner, Beale & Co, brings us their May, June and July editions of their Reports from the Courts, a regular review of the court decisions of most interest to the construction industry published in Construction Law.
In these editions, they examine:
• May edition - a case that will interest anyone hoping to invoke force majeure clauses against the background of sanctions against Russia and a case that serves as a reminder that terminating parties must take care to follow contractual termination procedures in their entirety.

• June edition - a report on a rare example of the courts refusing enforcement of an adjudicator’s decision and a case that acts as a reminder to ensure that the basis of the pricing and the payment mechanism in a contract is expressed clearly and understood from the outset to avoid later disputes.

• July edition - a case that reinforces the courts’ robust approach to adjudication enforcement, and highlights the importance of compliance with the immediate payment obligation where the requisite notices have not been served; and a fire safety related case where the decision contrasts with a recent claimant-friendly decision.
