WW Gear Construction Ltd v McGee Group
Citation: EWHC 1509 (TCC); [2012] B.L.R. 355; [2012] CILL 3204
Nature of case:
During the course of an on-going adjudication between the parties, Gear Construction brought Part 8 proceedings seeking a declaration as to the meaning of a clause in the amended form of the JCT Trade Contract. The McGee Group had previously entered into an agreement with WW Gear Construction to carry out the excavation and associated groundwork on a development in south east London. Three previous adjudications had arisen from this relationship, and the fourth of those, which was the subject of these proceedings, was brought by McGee’s claim for damages arising from variations under the contract.
