Deerns UK Limited v VDC LHR11 Limited: construction contract payment provisions
The judgment in Deerns UK Limited v VDC LHR11 Limited [2026] EWHC 1509 (TCC) is a useful reminder that if payment provisions in construction contracts do not comply with the requirements of the Construction Act they risk being superseded by the Scheme for Construction Contracts. This can lead to unexpected consequences: in this case, a payer being liable to pay a notified sum in full after the pay less notices it served were deemed to be out of time.

The New National Policy Statement for Ports
On 6 July 2026 the Government published a revised National Policy Statement for Ports (NPSFP), replacing the one designated in 2012. It keeps the same basic architecture, a presumption in favour of consent and a market-led approach, but builds on it in ways that matter for anyone bringing forward port capacity. Offshore wind gets real policy weight for the first time, hydrogen and ammonia are named as commodities ports should plan for, and the need case now runs to 2050.
