Anneliese Day QC and Jonathan Cope

May 2013

A paper presented to the Society of Construction Law at a meeting in Edinburgh on 10th April 2013

The case of Walter Lilly v Mackay has reignited the debate on global claims, but has anything really changed and what, if any, differences exist with the position in Scotland under John Doyle v Laing? The authors consider these important points, as well as the practical implications for both parties and tribunals dealing with global claims.
