The History of the Technology and Construction Court on Its 150th Anniversary Summary

The History of the Technology and Construction Court on Its 150th Anniversary: Rewriting the Rules by Peter Coulson, QC

This collection marks the 150th anniversary of the Technology and Construction Court by presenting insights into its history and impact. The contributors are current and retired senior judges, renowned academics and leading construction and technology lawyers. The book draws on their different perspectives and approaches to showcase different aspects of the Official Referees and the TCC from its origins in the Judicature Act 1873 through to its modern-day role as an international leader in dispute resolution through litigation, arbitration and adjudication. Different essays consider the role of the TCC in procedural reform and the digital transformation of dispute resolution, building safety, and how it has impacted on doctrinal English law. The book also explores the lives and impact of notable Official Referees and TCC judges from the senior judiciary’s perspective, with contributions by Lord Dyson on the transition from the Official Referees to the TCC, Sir Rupert Jackson on the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, Dame Finola O’Farrell on the TCC today, Sir Peter Coulson on Sir Brett Cloutman QC (a Senior Referee who was awarded a Victoria Cross) and Her Honour Frances Kirkham on the court’s role in the regions. The creation of a specialist dispute resolution forum for complicated engineering, construction and technological disputes is a foundational milestone in the legal history of construction law in England and Wales. This collection offers a unique insight from the judiciary, practising lawyers and academics into the significance and development of the court.

This is an excellent book to mark the development and accomplishments of what is now the world’s leading court for construction and engineering cases … The History of the Technology and Construction Court on its 150th Anniversary provides us with an admirable insight into the past, and an invigorating reflection on the present TCC. It helps us to take stock of where we are, and how we got here. -- Julian Bailey * The Conveyancer and Property Lawyer *
