In the latest in our series of Construction Law Updates, we consider the upcoming Irish Construction Contracts Act 2013.
The Construction Contracts Act 2013 has been given a commencement date and will apply to most construction contracts from 25 July 2016.
In this webinar Cathie Shannon (Associate), Tom Pemberton (Partner) and John Henderson (Partner) speak about how the legislation may impact those working in the construction sector and also help to explain the changes that your practice may be required to make.
In addition to this, the following topics will be discussed:
- An overview of the Act and its principal provisions.
- Answers to the key questions raised by the new payments regime imposed by the Act – what amendments should be made to your standard forms?
- Beale & Company’s significant UK experience of Adjudication and some practical considerations and useful tools for those involved in the process.

Sheena Sood (Partner) and Andrew Croft (Solicitor) have spoken about the likely impact of the new draft Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (“CDM Regulations 2015”) and accompanying guidance.
The draft CDM Regulations 2015 have been published following consultation last year and it is expected that these Regulations will come into force on 6 April 2015. The draft CDM Regulations 2015 introduce significant changes to the current CDM Regulations 2007, including the replacement of the CDM Co-ordinator role with that of the Principal Designer, removal of the domestic client exemption, withdrawal of the current Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and changes to the notification requirements.
With the new CDM Regulations 2015 expected to take effect on 6 April 2015, are you up-to-speed on the changes?

Will Buckby (Partner) and Ben Mullard (Associate) of Beale & Company speak about novation, focusing specifically on design and build projects and the issues consultants should consider when negotiating novation agreements.
Design and build projects and the novation of consultants’ appointments from the client to the contractor are increasingly prevalent in the construction sector. This talk provides an introduction to novation and the risks arising, discusses the different approaches to novation (the so called “ab initio” and “switch” forms) and highlights key issues for consultants in novation agreements.
