Client BH
This £150,000 dispute arose after the Employer, BHDL, failed to issue a valid Payment Certificate or Pay Less Notice in respect of Interim Payment Application 23 under a JCT Design and Build 2016 Contract. Our client, the contractor, commenced a “smash and grab” adjudication under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (as amended) and secured payment through the statutory regime.

Client FD
This case involved a high-value dispute exceeding £857,000 between our client, a fire-stopping subcontractor, and the primary contractor, XYZ, following a fraudulent invoicing scheme orchestrated by two XYZ employees. Although our client did not retain any of the fraudulent funds and acted under duress, XYZ sought full reimbursement of approximately £124,000 in inflated invoices and withheld £550,000 in legitimate payments for completed works—later attempting to reopen all historic billing. The matter required complex financial disclosure and forensic analysis to establish our client’s lack of enrichment and entitlement to outstanding sums. After extensive negotiations, a confidential settlement was reached, with our client recovering £220,000 in instalments, avoiding costly litigation and reputational damage.

CLIENT OC
The £416k construction dispute was resolved in record time without going to court. IMD Corporate acted for a client who purchased an office building intending to convert it into a residential HMO. They entered into a contract with a builder for the necessary works. However, instead of a detailed construction contract typical of such projects, the parties relied on a brief two-page agreement. This lack of clarity in the contract ultimately led to significant differences in the interpretation of the work’s scope, pricing, and valuation methods.
