Part 8 Claims

Part 8 Claims in relation to the Technology and Construction Court

[rtbs name=”technology-and-construction-court”]The Part 8 claim form must be marked “Technology and Construction Court” in the appropriate place on the form. A Part 8 claim form will normally be used where there is no substantial dispute of fact, such as the situation where the dispute turns on the construction of the contract or the interpretation of statute. For example, claims challenging the jurisdiction of an adjudicator or the validity of his decision are sometimes brought under Part 8. In those cases the relevant primary facts are often not in dispute. Part 8 claims will generally be disposed of on written evidence and oral submissions. It is important that, where a claimant uses the Part 8 procedure, his claim form states that Part 8 applies and that the claimant wishes the claim to proceed under Part 8. A statement of truth is again required on a Part 8 claim form.
