Original news Interserve Construction Ltd v Hitachi Zosen Inova AG [2017] EWHC 2633 (TCC), [2017] All ER (D) 82 (Nov) What are the practical implications of this case? Although the outcome rested largely on the parties’ bespoke terms, the case underscores the need to examine termination provisions with care both when contracting and before attempting to terminate. It also indicates that, when interpreting the parties’ chosen wording, the court is unlikely to construe it in a manner that fails to give operative effect to expressions such as ‘subject to’. What was the background? Hitachi, the EPC contractor for an energy from waste plant in Worcestershire, engaged Interserve as sub‑contractor. Dissatisfied with Interserve’s performance and delay, Hitachi served a notice under sub‑clause 43.1 of the sub‑contract, invoking grounds (h) and (q). Those grounds provided that, if Hitachi failed to proceed regularly or diligently with the works or committed a material breach: ‘…then, subject to Sub‑Clause 43.1A and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which’...

A v N (R intervening) [2025] EWFC 371 (B) What was the background? The applicant wife (W) and the respondent husband (H) wed in March 1996 after living together for two years, amounting to a near three-decade marriage when the cohabitation is counted. The intervenor was W’s mother (R). The parties had five children; only the youngest, T, now aged 15, remains under 18, although several of the older children have continued to reside in the family property. The former matrimonial home (FMH) was acquired on 13 February 2012 in H and W’s joint names. It was accepted by both that the purchase would not have been possible without funds from R, and that from the outset the plan was for R to share the FMH with them. The completion statement recorded a £130,000 contribution from R towards the £881,161 price, described as a ‘mother gifted deposit’. The chosen property was specifically selected so that semi-independent accommodation could be constructed for R’s eventual occupation, identified in the judgment as...
