         <description><![CDATA[



As a general principle, if one party breaks his contract this doesn’t entitle the other party to stop performing his obligations.
Consistently with this principle, there is no general right at common law for a contractor to suspend work if payment is wrongly withheld.

Last week [this article is dated 25 October 2006] I received this email from the Society of Construction Law to its members:
&nbsp;
Some of you may have seen the following entry in The Times on Tuesday 17th October.
&nbsp;
It was thought that some members will have known Ian and perhaps also missed this notice.

         <description><![CDATA[



Developers are rightly concerned to protect the physical security of construction sites.&#160; But prudent developers and investors will be equally attentive to the need for protecting the legal security of their projects.&#160; This article briefly explores just a few of the available options.&#160; (A longer article could have described latent defects insurance, professional indemnity insurance, and the step-in rights contained in warranties to lenders.)

         <description><![CDATA[Until the law of gravity is repealed, buildings will continue to rest on land, and the stability and utility of every proposed new building will continue to depend upon the condition of that land: its ability to support the structures to be erected on it, and the extent to which it may be polluted or contaminated.
Since 1st April 2000 whoever “caused or knowingly permitted” the presence of contaminating substances is initially responsible, under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, for...]]></description>
