Payment provisions in hybrid contracts – C Spencer Limited v MW High Tech Projects UK Limited

In this recent case the Court held that a contractual payment mechanism that is compliant with the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 will apply to all payments under a “hybrid” contract. This will include payments due in respect of both construction works and works excluded from the definition of construction operations under the Act.

In this article, Nathan Modell and Andrew Croft discuss the case of C Spencer Limited v MW High Tech Projects UK Limited and how the decision will impact the subject of hybrid contracts and payment going forward.
