The Technology and Construction Court Guide

1.1 Purpose of Guide

1.1.1

The Technology and Construction Court (“TCC”) Guide is intended to provide straightforward, practical guidance on the conduct of litigation in the TCC. Whilst it is intended to be comprehensive, it naturally concentrates on the most important aspects of such litigation. It therefore cannot cover all the procedural points that may arise. It does, however, describe the main elements of the practice that is likely to be followed in most TCC cases. This Guide does not and cannot add to or amend the CPR or the relevant practice directions. The purpose and function of this Guide is to explain how the substantive law, rules and practice directions are applied in the TCC and cannot affect their proper interpretation and effect: see Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government v Bovale [2009] 1 WLR 2274 at [36].
