Anglo-German Construction Law Platform

On Tuesday 24 June, the Centre of Construction Law & Dispute Resolution was proud to host the inaugural meeting of the Anglo-German Construction Law Platform (AGCLP).   The Centre is the UK academic partner of the AGCLP, a new international society which will act as a unique forum for cross-jurisdictional collaboration in construction law development.

The event attracted some 68 lawyers, academics and construction professionals, including 40 British delegates, 20 Germans and 8 others from a variety of international jurisdictions. Distinguished attendees included Lord Justice Jackson and His Honour Humphrey Lloyd QC, who Chaired the meeting.

The seminar was entitled: 'Money is the lifeblood of construction – how to keep it flowing under a common law or civil law system', with a panel featuring experts in construction law from Britain and Germany, including Centre Director Professor David Mosey, visiting lecturer Dr Wolfgang Breyer and leading construction law author Julian Bailey.  The event was a major success, providing a solid foundation for the future of this new initiative.  The Centre of Construction Law will continue to act as academic partner to the AGCLP with the next gathering to be held in Germany in 2015.
