Convoluted excuses at Canary Wharf
Article Abstract:
Sub-contractors who worked on Canary Wharf, London are not receiving monies due for work undertaken because of the legal approach of management contractors, Trafalgar House. A sub-contractor should be paid for work completed up to the day of departure and for the material to be fixed and committed to purchase. However Trafalgar is refusing payment although it pulled out of the Olympia and York Canary Wharf contract. Trafalgar states that it is treating the sub-contractors as if they had rejected the contract thus, allowing non-payment.

Nasty, brutish and short
Article Abstract:
The United Kingdom Construction industry's legal body New Engineering Contract is to release a revised contract procedure to help settle disputes. The document, shortly to be released, is well written, clearly layed out and unambiguous but has a 14-day dispute notification deadline which is totally unrealistic. It is designed to designate the responsibilities of building contractor and employer but ignores the need for final dispute procedures.

Lesson for subbies on Canary Wharf
Article Abstract:
The demise of developer, Olympia and York (O and Y) has brought the differences between management contractors and construction managers to light. Subcontractors working on O and Y's Canary Wharf site in London, England are paid by the management contractor. However, those employed under construction management should have been paid directly by O and Y and now have the same status as other unsecured creditors.
