National House Building Council (appellant) v Peabody Trust (respondent)

Thursday 26 June 2025

By Appellant’s Notice filed on 15 December 2024, the Defendant appeal against the order made by Andrew Mitchell KC (sitting as a deputy judge of the High Court), sitting in the Technology and Construction Court, refusing D’s application for summary judgment or strike out of the claim on basis that the claim was statute-barred.

The issue before the High Court was when time began to run. Option 1 of the D’s Buildmark Choice Policy provides cover for the additional costs of completing a housing development owing to the insolvency of the contractor before completion.
