In CR Construction v Barclays Bank & Or [2026] EWHC 202 (TCC) the Court considered wide ranging arguments in support of an injunction seeking to restrain a call on a Bond by the Employer. The arguments included questions as to the validity of the Bond call, whether the Main Contract (a JCT D&B 2016) in some way precluded a call on the Bond, whether the fact that the Main Contract was allegedly repudiated precluded a call on the Bond and whether set-off also precluded a call on the Bond. The arguments failed and the application was rejected. Sean Wilken KC instructed by Phil Withey and Jake Parker–Bishop at Addleshaw Goddard acted for the Employer on the application.
