Building contract

Kellie and another v Wheatley & Lloyd Architects Ltd [2014] EWHC 2212 (TCC), [2014] All ER (D) 20 (Oct)

The defendant company was employed by the claimants to design and construct a garage/workshop. The claimants brought proceedings, contending that the defendant had been negligent in advising that the claimants’ preferred style of garage would not have obtained the relevant planning permission. The Technology and Construction Court, in dismissing the claim, held that the claimants had not demonstrated that they had expressed a preference for a garage in the preferred style to the defendant.
