The Technology and Construction Court (TCC) has issued a third edition of its guide.
There are a number of key points to note:
- The TCC at the Rolls Building in London will not not usually deal with enforcement of adjudicator's decisions where the amount in issue is less than £100,000. For claims generally they will usually not accept cases which are valued at less than £500,000. These limits do not apply outside of London. It is worth considering issuing proceedings in the regions. Mills & Reeve has offices in Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester, where TCC judges are based.
- Adjudication enforcement hearings will usually take place within 6 to 8 weeks.
- There are changes to the case management directions form (Appendix B) and the draft directions order in adjudication enforcement proceedings (Appendix F).
- The following new appendices are included: Appendix I - general guidance on Statements of Case, Appendix J - General Guidance on Electronic Court Bundles and Appendix K - the BPC (Business and Property Courts) Protocol for Remote and Hybrid Hearings.
