Construction analysis: The Technology and Construction Court (TCC) found that the ‘conclusive evidence’ provisions in a Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) form of sub-contract did not apply to an adjudication on the value of the Final Sub-Contract Sum. The court found that the claimant had commenced adjudication proceedings before the Final Payment Notice (FPN) became conclusive evidence of the Final Sub-Contract Sum, meaning that the adjudicator was not bound by it.

Status of EU directives following Brexit Retained EU law (‘REUL’) is a legal concept describing EU-derived rights and legislation preserved by the UK following Brexit. It is a defined term under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A 2018), and the collective term given to the body of EU-derived laws the UK preserved and converted into domestic UK law, effective on the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972.
