John Doyle Construction v Erith Contractors

The Court of Appeal today handed down judgment in John Doyle Construction v Erith Contractors regarding the enforcement of adjudication decisions by insolvent companies.  The Court of Appeal seems to disagree with the Supreme Court's decision in Bresco v Lonsdale and its decision will create significant uncertainty for insolvent claimants in the construction industry. Please see below some of our thoughts on the judgment.

H&J's 2020 in review

2020 was not a year anyone would choose to repeat, but despite the challenging circumstances H&J had a successful year. As summarised in this article, we had a significant victory at trial on one of our claims and settled numerous other claims in our portfolio returning millions of pounds to the assignors of those claims to us. We were also delighted to welcome three new team members.

The Devil's in the Detail

In November we achieved an excellent resolution at mediation in a claim relating to unpaid introduction fees, for which the assignor company had been seeking payment for 4 years prior to assignment to H&J. H&J achieved a great result, resulting in significant sums being paid to the wronged party - and a real feeling of justice having been served. This result goes to show that the devil truly is in the detail, and that a fresh pair of eyes and a robust approach can really change the dynamic in dispute resolution, with excellent results.
