“LOGIC? What LOGIC? When you’re all at (North)Sea...”

Workshop by Veronique Buehrlen QC, Lucy Garrett, Calum Lamont and Matthew Finn of Keating Chambers

27 March 2018 at 4pm

Keating Chambers presents a workshop session concerning a main contractor involved in a module construction project which has gone wrong, leading to the need to issue injunctive relief against the owner in relation to the available HLV up the line, and proceedings down the line in relation to the subcontractor who is holding onto a further module, and insisting that it is unlawful to levy liquidated damages. To add insult to injury, there are maintenance issues with regard to a related module offshore, giving rise to all sorts of claims for consequential loss and that old favourite, loss of use.
