Infrastructure projects

Infrastructure is a broad term which can encompass a wide range of sectors and types of projects, ranging from schools, hospitals, roads and railway lines to wind, waste and water projects, oil and gas facilities, pipelines and processing plants. These may be domestic UK projects or international projects.

Infrastructure projects can frequently be high value and complex and the parties will need to understand, and ensure that the contractual arrangements provide for, the commercial, strategic, technical, geographical and political factors involved in such projects and the associated risks.

Due to the broad spectrum of issues involved, infrastructure projects will often involve lawyers from a number of practice areas including construction, projects, corporate and banking.

'Surmise and micawberism'—court rejects jurisdictional and natural justice challenges to adjudication enforcement (LAPP Industries v 1st Formations)

Construction analysis: The Technology and Construction Court (TCC) rejected a set of jurisdictional and natural justice challenges to an adjudicator's decision, emphasising that such challenges will succeed in only the plainest cases. Among other points, the court found that where a matter relevant to the adjudicator's jurisdiction necessarily 'overlapped' with the adjudicator's decision on the substantive issues, that matter could not be considered at the enforcement stage.

Homes England updates Cladding Safety Scheme guidance on social sector pre-tender support

Homes England has updated its Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) guidance adding clarification regarding the circumstances under which pre-tender support is available to social sector applicants. The update forms part of ongoing refinements to the CSS, which addresses fire risks associated with residential building cladding. The support, available until 31 March 2026, applies to registered providers and local authorities making applications either on hardship grounds or based on the proportion of leaseholders to total homes in a building. The funding can be used for pre-tender activities including design works and Fire Risk Appraisal of Exterior Walls costs.

Interpreting settlement agreements (Dragados v Port of Aberdeen)

Construction analysis: The case concerned the Court of Session’s interpretation of a provision of a settlement agreement relating to a construction dispute, where the meanings contended for by both parties were considered comprehensible and where neither interpretation was more obviously consistent with business common sense than the other. The commercial background and other provisions in the settlement agreement did not assist in interpretation and the court’s interpretation turned purely on the specific wording within the provision. The court noted that words included must be accorded some meaning by a reasonable reader. The court held that on the proper construction of relevant provision, that provision necessarily came into operation if and only if the defender or the Project Manager issued instructions. Since it was common ground that no such instructions were ever issued, the pursuer’s fell to be regarded as irrelevant.
